The never ending peaches...the just keep going....and going...
Speaking of prize winning peaches, we also went the State Fair last Saturday (that's a nice segue, don't you think). Tim (my newly settled 45 minutes away brother), Shar, Letty, Gracie and my sister K-Rae came with us - YAY! The fair is the most amazing collection of people - the tough ranchers, the rowdy rodeo-ers, the quiet green thumbs, the sophisticated artists, the noisy families, the pushy salesman... such a hodge podge of people make it a fun outing (though a bit overpriced).
Curly had her first pony ride... I won't go into the details of how we got ripped off, but at least she enjoyed all 10 seconds of it.
The blue ribbon exhibit was the "Helping Hands Farm" sponsored by the FFA. Curly, Lou, and Letty put on little aprons and carried little buckets around as they worked their way through the processes of a farm. Feeding the cow, milking the cow, planting seeds and gathering the crops, driving the tractors (tricycles), and then selling their goods at a farmers market for "$1 Fair Buck" that they used at the "general store" to buy a treat. I think Curly has asked to go back to that farm no less than 4 times since the fair.
Curly and Letty our future FFA members. We all love having Letty and her family so close!!!

Those peaches look so good! I loved canning peaches with my mom when I was little. I'm glad it was such a great experience, bonding with your cute grandma and sister-in-law, especially with the girls entertaining each other. :)
What fun! I wish I was close enough to take some of those peaches off of your hands. They look so good!
WOW! That really is SO many peaches! How fun to get to be with your Grandma though! That's greaT!
Looks like you had a great time. That is a ton of canning-way to go! I miss the old Blackfoot fair.

How I love canned fruit. If you don't have anything to do with it, Ellis' birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and I am sure that she would love some canned peaches :-)

I did get your message, but I had gotten it too late. :( I'm sad we missed each other too. I was so excited to see the girls. And thank you for the nice compliment. And that date wasn't awkward at all! That's why you're the best! :)
