Hey this is the fun we had on Saturday, we took mom and the kids to Olympia's lakefair. A little carnival that was just getting up and running when we got there. I got some carmal corn cause I don't get to even ride on the carousel being pregnant, so mom and justin rode next to the kids. Really Lucas was too little for ALLLL the rides but a couple of the carnies played along. I wish we could have captured the look on Lucas' face on that air balloon ride cause it made him queezy and he was looking a LOT green. I was sure he was going to throw up on Jacey and all because we wanted him to be able to ride the rides soooo bad... it was really funny.
This is what a 24lb box of apricots looks like in jars. 6 batches and 33 jars later this is what we got. I'm figuring this will be 2-4 years worth since we also have raspberry and strawberry jam. Next is peaches later in August. Justin and Mom did the washing, cutting, and hand blended the apricots and I cooked and mixed then put into jars, Justin put lids on after I filled them. 6 batched goes pretty fast with 3 sets of hands. Justin is pretty excited because this is his favorite.
