The bushes were nice and low for the children to get to which made picking super easy. And the strawberries were a beautiful red peeking out from under the green leaves, which were a visual treat!
The E children are big fruit lovers and strawberries are one of their favorites, so we picked a whole tray full. Originally I was planning on trying my hand at making jam with some of the strawberries but the children ate their fill everyday and finished a whole tray in about a week's time. So canning my own jam will just have to wait.
Check out the Sassy Strawberry hair clip in the "honeycomb" which looks almost as juicy as the ones we picked back in June!
Have you picked any fruit this summer, what are your favorites?

Great 2nd photo of the strawberry. What a gem and what great blurry background! We used to pick fruit as the Chen family but not with Alan and Jacob. I don't think Alan likes heat and bugs ;). We used to pick white peaches, melt in your mouth goodness! And cherries too. Glad your kids ate up those fresh strawberries. YUM!
ReplyDeleteThat photo was a total lucky shot! Glad you like it, you are a much better photographer than I (Zi). Yum, peaches! We went to pick some yellow peaches a few weeks back, so good!
DeleteHey my kids want to buy something soon. There more things coming online? I am worried Simon is going to destroy a pin in two seconds. can I recommend some transportation items? He goes nuts for trains trucks and planes.
ReplyDeleteThere are many items in the pipelines, just need to work on getting them ready for their big debut! Transportation items are definitely in the pipelines. Will try to push for their release soon. Stay tuned!
DeleteYea, transportation items!
