Our day at Green Bluff strawberry u-pick

Yesterday was so productive! But there is still so much left to do that it doesn't seem that way. But I am only going to touch on the strawberry picking we did. Jacob and I including Mom and Dad went up to Green Bluff yesterday to a u-pick strawberry field.

Us riding the tractor wagon down to the field.

Mom and Dad on the wagon! 

We got our boxes and crates and off we went! The instructor told us that the back field was just opened up if we wanted to hike way back there. Of course WAY back there was relative, it wasn't far but most people chose to stay on the lower acres of fields. Jacob and I took off in search for riper strawberries.

Jacob in the field, in the distance you can see the buildings we left and the lower strawberry fields it wasn't really that far.
Me in search of the perfect little gem. I honestly felt like I was stealing little ruby's! 

After we got our loot it was time for a pit stop and ice cream. The Harvest House, which is like the main building. They have the best ice cream! Jacob had Huckleberry, I had Vanilla, Mom had Chocolate, and Dad had Cookies and Cream. Us relaxing and using the ice cream cone as a microphone, we were singing with the band!  


After all the fun was had we journeyed  home, we forgot to have Mom and Dad take a picture of us with our loot of gems, so we set the timer and did it ourselves. Us with our strawberries. Which cost 1.09 / lb. a total of  $26 and some change. We picked 23 lbs. of strawberries. It is time to learn how to make jam!
