We decided to go to a strawberry farm Wednesday morning. The one we had planned to go to was out of berries so we went to the Bamboo Farms in Savannah. We had a great time! Heather went with us too. The kids wanted to look at the big fish in the pond before we started picking.
Fish and turtles!!
We were all excited when this little baby turtle swam up! It looks bigger in this picture but.....
in this one you can tell how tiny it really was!
Ian's favorite thing is strawberries so he was very excited to see the huge patch!
Some of the berries after we got home and started washing them!! YUMMY!
We froze 3 gallon size Ziploc bags full! Thursday morning, we started working on strawberry jam! Kristen made us a great strawberry banana smoothie for lunch!
The first batch of jam!
A bowl full of fresh strawberries, strawberry smoothies and homemade strawberry jam!!
We ended up with 24 8 oz jars of jam!! It is so good! I also made 3 loaves of bread Thursday too! That evening, Stephanie and her kiddos came over to hang out. That was nice since things have been so hectic around here, we haven't seen each other as much as normal. We grilled burgers and just chatted.
