Monday we got settled and picked Mike's beans and peas. (Mary Jane was coming home that night after being gone to visit her family for a couple of weeks.) so Mike had to get those beans picked!!!!
Hayley picked the raspberries and we had some raspberry smoothies. We had smoothies everyday. Wow are they good. Then we had some raspberry shortcake the last day.
I told Candace she could have some of our red beets, and she cooked and froze I think 9 big packages. We also picked our beans (just a few and cooked them) Wow I love fresh beans picked straight from the garden.
The kids had fun playing in the water as we flood-irrigated the lawn. Bryce was in his glory hunting birds. Grandpa taught him how to shoot a BB gun. We have been inundated with too many birds eating our fruit----they just fly in flocks from tree to tree pecking at apricots and apples.
The kids picked up pine cones on Grandma Dayley's lawn and visited her for a few minutes.
In the afternoon, Candace, and the girls (and Jaydon) went to the mother-daughter activity. It was a water party, with dinner, a program and crafts. It was supposed to be overnight camping---however----Hayley and I were the only ones who spent the night! It was really nice to have some one on one time with Hayley. I forgot to take some pictures of Hayley and I and our lone tent. :)
Janet and Grandma were at the mother-daughter activity also, and Mary Jane and the kids spent a lot of time with us. All in all it was a fun time. Thank you Candace for taking the effort to come and see us.
