Peach Days!!

Peach Days was over the weekend and it was so much more involved then I thought it would be, but it was a lot of fun. They had a parade, fireworks, softball tournament, the worldest largest car show (not really, but it sure seemed that way), a carnival, booths, tons of food, etc. We took Jefferson and had a ton of fun.
Being in Brigham, of coarse they had equipment there. This picture is for Kelli and Karl in honor of their forevern ongoing garage project. We'll send Jefferson to help with the machinery.


Jason didn't think that Jefferson would like the rides all that much, but once we got in line, Jefferson just stared at the carousel and kept saying. "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa" It was funny. And he had a blast as you can tell.


He also liked the train ride, but the horses were a lot more fun for him.


Here is Jason eating the famous peach cobbler. It was really good!!
The following pictures are for my brother-in-law Karl (Kelli make sure you show him).
They have the hugest car show. There are two really big parks across the street from each other and they were both filled with cars, along with the streets that surround the parks. I appreciated the beauty of them, but I think Karl will appreciate them much more. So.... Here you go Karl...Enjoy!



I overheard that the guy who owns the flaming turck is a fireman...how appropriate!






I didn't even get pictures of a quarter of the cars, but it was pretty awesome.
We had a great time!
Happy Peach Days!!

Heavenly

Brigham City has the best peaches that I have ever tasted. They are seriously heavenly. We found a farmers market just up the road and I fell in love. The produce is local so you are supporting the local farmers, they are delicious and in season so you're not paying out the rear for produce that was shipped across or from another country and that makes it a lot more affordable as well. We bought a whole bucket of peaches (about 14-15 pounds) for 12 dollars, you could get 10 squash for a dollar, a dozen ears of really great sweet corn for 2 dollars, etc, etc. It was great. Since Peach Days are this week in Brigham we decided to go all out.



With our beautiful peaches we made 8 half pints of spiced peach butter (fabulous-leaves your house smelling great as well), 6 pints of peach jam, and 4 quarts of peach halves. We also saved about 10 to eat plain. I was so proud of us. Canning is something we just started doing and Jason and I like to do it together which makes it a lot of fun. You just get this sense of accomplishment when you look at the jars. Maybe next year we'll have some land and can even grow the fruit ourselves!!



Our next project is to tackle tomatoes and apples. I just can't wait. Seeing our shelves filling with healthy food storage makes me so darn happy it's ridiculous.
