Strawberry picking

Yesterday our family went Strawberry Picking. It was a lot of fun. I used to go as a kid and thought it would be a great thing to do while hubby had a couple days off. We went to Lorence's Berry Farm. We spent about an hour there and we picked about 17 lbs of berries. Kenan picked 1lb, Timmy picked 2 lbs, Hannah 3 3/4 lbs, Jeff 3 1/2 lbs, and I picked 7 lbs. Lucy and Micah spent their time wandering around and helping put berries in the buckets. Lucy and Kenan chowed on berries as well. We came home and began washing, slicing and eating fresh picked strawberries. I tried making a pie crust. It took me 4 times to finally get it right. Jeff and Hannah made two runs to the store to buy ready made pie crusts. I made 2 pies and they turned out delicious. The home made crust was from my Betty Crocker cookbook and the pie filling recipe was from a website I found. I gave that pie to my in-laws along with a bag of strawberries. The 2nd pie we kept and we still have 1/2 of it. It's so yummy! As a kid picking strawberries, all we did was help my mom pick the berries. Then we came home and she made jam while we sat outside eating a bucket of berries. I didn't realize that it's such a big deal and an all day process. What a fun thing to do as a family though!
