Our family has been working hard trying to preserve the food that is plentiful right now. We've canned salsa, peaches, applesauce, blackberry & plum jam, and tomatoes. We've frozen peaches, apricots, tomatoes, and pesto, and have dried tomatoes and fruit leathers. It IS A LOT of work, but oh, so satisfying. I think canned peaches and plum jam are so pretty to look at.
In the picture below, we are de-stemming basil for pesto while listening to Max retell the story of the First Vision. It was a great FHE!
Justin had the task of cleaning fruit leather trays and watching Noah. This is how he accomplished his tasks....so clever!
Justin and Max have been critical helpers to all our ventures. Max cut most of the tomatoes we dried....and there were a lot!!! My favorite was when he was turning the wheel of the applesauce machine (having worked hard for a good hour at it) said to me,
"This is for my applesauce badge!" Oh, he is so funny. Badges were on his mind after attending Justin's pack meeting the other night.

Justin and Max's FAVORITE part of the entire day. They LOVED watching the dueling and checking out all the swords and fighting gear.
Native American game of throwing arrows through the hoops.
People were dressed up in costume all through out the park. It really made you feel as though you were living in the times!!
