When my sister and I were kids, our mom took us to pick strawberries every year. I remember having a "one for the basket and one for my tummy" mentality, so it's probably good the farmers don't weigh kids on the way in and out.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for the farmers, the u-pick places around here have been particularly slammed with customers this year. The place I wanted to go has been all picked out by 8:30 or 9:00 am, and they're only open every other day. Apparently the word is out that picking your own is much more fun!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439736209874653194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782626612277999475.post-89392335493415566722008-06-26T15:30:00.000-04:002008-06-26T15:30:00.000-04:00this is so funny...we used to have a blueberry pic...this is so funny...we used to have a blueberry picking place right next to our house when I was growing up and he always checked our tongue color when we were leaving :) your boys sound hillarious!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00683655933935098511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782626612277999475.post-8198942389242363732008-06-26T12:48:00.000-04:002008-06-26T12:48:00.000-04:00BBN - Well, they help preserve the berries.

We easily ate two of the quarts already!<BR/><BR/>Farmer's Daughter - Oh, dear, if they would have weighed my one son on the way out, he would be a quart heavier. Though, I think that's the magic of Upick - eating something right from the field.<BR/><BR/>Heather - They had fun! Me, well, I had fun, but it's a little like cat herding...<BR/><BR/>Letter - I made some strawberry sauce for topping pancakes and ice cream. I froze two gallon freezer bags full for smoothies and shakes in the winter. Now, I need to figure out what to do with the last 4 quarts...<BR/><BR/>GB - check back with me in 5 years and let me know how amused you are! I spent most of last night either preserving berries or cleaning berry gunk off of shoes, shirts and faces!!<BR/><BR/>Arduous - 2 months, 5 days until the first day of school. :o)EcoBurbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931648017376435556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782626612277999475.post-12330474267457120802008-06-26T12:36:00.000-04:002008-06-26T12:36:00.000-04:00HILARIOUS!Oh the joys of summer.
