U - pick 'em

Gorgeous setting!
On our way home from the tide pools, we stopped to pick some fresh organic strawberries.  The weather broke, so it was just gorgeous!  

Kawika (2) and Kainoa (10)

Everyone pitched in and had a good time.  Each child had their own box and was proud of what they picked. 

Kaleo (16) with the boys in the backround


Kili (4)

Kapena (5) was so proud of his 'beauties' as we were calling them


Keith preferred to supervise rather than pick


It made me feel better about the dismal harvest we had from our own strawberry plants.  There was no way I was making jam from what little our plants produced (granted, little ones nibbling here and there didn't help.)  But I could see here that there were not many strawberries on any one plant.  There was one, maybe two.  Seems you need a lot of plants to get a lot of strawberries.  On this day we made off with about 14lbs.
