Weekend Fun

This past weekend, we made our second trip to Fair Oaks Farm. Somehow, I didn't take a picture of a single live cow... Hmm... oh well :)
Connor and Kate had lots of fun!
I also got some canning done... tomato jam and cowboy candy (candied jalapenos).
And a lovely picture of Connor and Daddy in Cedar Lake, IN

It's Fair Season!

This past weekend, we checked out Jasper County Fair near Renssalaer IN. It's a very small fair. It was opening night and none of the rides were set up, which I found odd. The animal barns were nice and food selection was decent. The kids had a blast climbing on tractors...





Kate got to milk a goat:



 On Sunday, we went blueberry picking for the first time. Of course, I forgot my camera in the car. Connor had a blast and ate lots of blueberries. I thought we had picked quite a few, nope, only 4 lbs. I put some in the freezer and the rest will be eaten shortly. There is something special about a sun-warmed blueberry. We discovered that our favorite is Blue Ray and I'll be looking at those for my own garden. This farm had a decent variety and I plan on going back next year.

After we left, we went to an outlet mall. This outlet mall has a train... Connor insisted on riding it. :)
