Besides the fact that I ruined our camera, strawberry picking was super fun. I met a girl who volunteered to be my friend on craigslist (Did you know you could do that?) She is super nice a mom of 2 boys and she is always doing something around Boise. Her husband happens to be doing an internship in Salt Lake and she is staying in Boise with the boys. Tonight I met her at a Christian concert outdoors. She is fun! I hope to be nice enough to volunteer to be someone's friend!
We started out looking at the pigs, cows, chickens and sheep. Jackson was fascinated. This pig licked his hand. . . oh no! Swine flu!
Then came the tragic tractor ride out to the strawberry fields . . . (pictures are courtesy of my internet friend)
Jackson went crazy eating strawberries, dropping them in the mud, picking them up (with the mud) and basically making a mess. I put him in a backpack and he would pull my hair everytime he wanted another strawberry. My hair was disgusting!
And the spoil was great! I made jam for the first time ever. We have enough to last the whole year!

It looks like you guys are having such a great time. I miss you here though.
Hey James! Glad you're headed back to utah! I'll bE there for a short weekend on the first of aug, so not at same time as you. I'm game for an October trip! When is your break? Ps. Jackson is so cute!
Those look absolutely delicious! I am glad that you made jam. I am too scared of it. It was the first thing I "canned" after getting married and it never set up, so I have never tried again! I LOVE homemade jam though. Lucky you...a whole year supply!
Aw, fun! We wanted to do the whole strawberry picking thing this year too but never made it. We'll have to plan for next year. So glad you could enjoy the memories with Jax.
