Berries!!!!

It is strawberry time in Oregon! WOOHOO! We missed the strawberries last year, so we have been waiting ALL YEAR for June to come around.

We had both of our families come to pick berries with us. We loved having them here!

The Hague family came first. Dallin's parents and the Moody's drove down. We swam at their hotel pool, picked berries, ate donuts on National Donut Day, ate at Panera, and went shopping at the Woodburn Outlets while they were here.

Eliza is such a good big cousin. And Kylie adores her.

Then the Heath grandparents made the trek down from Kennewick a few days later. They only stayed overnight so we didn't get as much time with them, but we did as much as we could. Kylie showed them how she loves to be wrapped up like a burrito in blankets/mattress pads, etc., and we went to a really yummy Diner for lunch after picking berries.

Kylie liked decorating the wagon with flowers
It started POURING while we were picking... so mom made herself a little fort.
The cutest burrito you ever did see.
Between the two trips we picked 27 pounds of strawberries, made 4 batches of freezer jam, and froze 3.5 gallon bags full of berries for smoothies.


Hope everyone enjoys their strawberry jam!!!
