My mom (Gram) asked us to pick strawberries for her to make strawberry jelly. We went to Seiples Farm- a family tradition for many years. I used to go with my grandmother when I was a kid. It took Natalie awhile to learn to pick them without squishing the berries (they are much softer than CA ones). And the kids switched rows constantly since the berries were always better on the other side. But everyone worked hard and we had 28 pounds when we were finished! Gram made lots of jam!! 
So sweet!!! Strawberry picking is such fun....Looks like you're making lots of memories already! :) Give the kids my love and hellos, please (if they remember who I am..they're getting so big!)
