2nd Annual Strawberry Picking

We went to Dover, FL near Tampa with our friends to pick strawberries again this year over Spring Break. Alyson and Matthew and Jacob came from Bradenton to join us too.  Last year I ran out of jam so this year I wanted to make more.  We picked 24 quarts of strawberries!  The kids were great helpers again this year and loved filling up their buckets.  We were all hot and sweaty but we had fun with our friends cooling off at McDonalds before heading home.We took our strawberries home and washed them all.  Then we made lots of freezer jam, homemade fruit strips, chocolate covered strawberries, popsicles, and strawberry shortcake! Yummy!
