Canning

The last 4 days were consumed of canning. I kind of dread this time of year, when it is time to can, but the end result is so worth it. I got 5 boxes of peaches, 2 1/2 boxes of pears and 5 dozen ears of corn. The end result, 35 bags of freezer corn; 35 pints, 7 quarts and 31 freezer bags of peaches; 34 pints of pears; and 35 quarts and 8 pints of fruit cocktail. Lots of work, but oh so good. The kids logged several hours of t.v. time during canning, but they sure didn't seem to mind.

On Sunday we met my parents out at the cemetary. It was fun for the kids to see all the gravesites of great grandparents and other relatives.

The sun was so bright when we were standing there and we got this really cool shot of our shadows.

I thought this was a cute picture of the kids with Grandma and Grandpa Ricks.

Life keeps moving along. I can't believe it is almost October. The last week and half have been gorgeous here. We are looking forward to taking the kids to Yellowstone National Park on Saturday. It should be a fun day and we will post pictures of our adventures when we return.
