Nothing much is going on right now. Just trying to adjust to school life. Everyone is loving school! Even Nik! I know, it's great!! Anyways, I thought I would take this chance to catch up on our CA trip!
The best thing about visiting CA is spending time with family! My Dad is so busy during the month of July that we were lucky to see him at all! We had a whole afternoon with him and he put the kids to work harvesting his garden! It was great and they loved it!
They dug up potatoes that we ate that following Sunday for dinner! They were delicious!
There was a lot of cabbage for the kids to pick! He made his Mom's coleslaw and it was amazing!
They picked tons and tons of green beans!
Okay, maybe not picking, but they did find a lot of them! It was Tori's job to gather all the beans the kids threw.
Ammon, Britain and Kalixta were so excited to find tons of "baby" snails!! There are no snails in Utah, at least where we live so they loved them!
There were cucumbers, strawberries and tomatoes too! It was quite a harvest!!!
Dad wore the kids out! Tori took a time out and had a little nap on the stairs platform!
After the harvest Dad fed us. He has an awesome fire pit, that he made, and we were able to roast hot dogs and marshmallows after dinner! We all had a great time!

There are snails crossing the trail down by the sports park all the time. You’ll have to try to find some in between games one day. 🙂
