Ducks

Since I spent the day yesterday making salsa and bottling tomatoes, I didn't get to play with Carson very much, so after we had everything cleaned up, we packed up his bike and headed to the park to look at the ducks.  

It was the best time to go!  usually the park is packed with people but we went late enough nobody was there.  The ducks were very excited to see us, they came running right up to our feet for some food.  that scared poor Carson to death!  he wouldn't let me put him down until all the ducks went back into the pond.  after the ducks realized we didn't have any food they backed off a bit.  then Carson rode his bike back and forth just watching them play in the water.  

We got to the park around 8:00 and it wasn't long before it started getting dark.  so this video is a little hard to see

Tomato Pickers

Yesterday we went to a farm down the street and spent a couple hours picking tomatoes and peppers

Carson had a hard time walking through the plants so I would put him in the middle and then hand him a vegetable to toss in the box.

He had a blast!  then today we made it all into salsa. YUM!  we also bottled some plain tomatoes. we still have a lot more to stock up on but this was a good start on our food storage for the year!
