Canning with Grandma Ivie

 It has become a bit of a tradition to head north to Grandma's house in September with 3 boxes full of Utah peaches.  I think we've done it twice now, so that counts as a tradition, right?

 We rolled up our sleeves, donned our aprons, and got to peelin'!  I know three boxes doesn't sound like a lot, but it TOTALLY is!  We canned over 80 jars of peaches!

 Even the younger generation got in on the fun!  When it comes to canning, Grandma Ivie is the pro.  When she was a teenager, she won a national canning competition!

 Once we finished up all the fruit, we took a little walk to the river and dipped our feet.  This beautiful scenery is just a five-minute walk from Grandma's backdoor.  I think Kolby wished he brought his fishing gear!

 The kids enjoyed skipping rocks.  I just love this profile picture of Winnie.  Her nose is the cutest!
