Space Derby and General Conference

Garet had a Space Derby for Cub Scouts.  Jared was so excited to help him have the best, fastest rocket.  He won first place!  Way to go Garet!

 We grew a few watermelons and cantaloupes this year and Mason was sure to check on them every few days, so one day Jared sent him out to pick one.  He was very excited!

 One day we bottled 43 gallons of grape juice (in half gallon and quart jars)!  About 1/4 of the grapes were from our garden.  The rest were from people Jared found who didn't use their grapes.  It took us about 8-9 hours.  We have the method down now:)

For General Conference we went to Nate and Amanda's house in Highland.  They just moved into a home that has about an acre with big trees, goats, a big garden and plenty of place to run and play.  It was a fun day with yummy soup and inspired words from our prophet and leaders.

They even had a pinata (homemade) for the kids. 

 We brought some of our grape juice and as you can see it ended up on Dallin's shirt:)

 Amanda milks one of her goats, so she let the kids come and watch.

 We had an apples pressing day on Saturday.  We had the Yost's, Schultz's, Bradford's, Headley's, Uncle Richard, Button's, Tueller's, and Yeates's come.  Some for half a day and some for all day.  We made 167 gallons of cider!  It was a very long, but rewarding day.  We have one more day planned and then we can officially say that canning is done for the year!!  Yippee:)

This picture looks a little weird.  Not sure why it is distorted.  We don't live on a corner.
