Here we are after a few hours of picking huckleberries up past Ririe. Huckleberries are a coveted item for our family and we plan on enjoying a pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Peter's dad made a delicious recipe for crepes and a mixed berry topping with a cup of them. It was to die for!
Here is Peter and Tim with Tim's first and best catch of the day! It was the nicest fish Peter said he has seen on the Teton River. We stayed out there for a good couple hours and Catherine never caught a fish. Too slow...
A really good friend and neighbor invited me to come pick pie cherries at her house this August. She had about 4 cherry trees just exploding with bright red cherries. I picked like crazy and wish I went back for more. Last fall I attempted a peach pie with the crisscross pie crust topping. It was okay. This time I called Craig (Peter's dad) for his pie recipe and thought it turned out great! My first cherry pie...check!
I love these next two pictures! SO the Eastern Idaho State Fair is a must see at least once for anyone, but growing up in Blackfoot it is a must do every year. Peter isn't a fan of much of the food there but I could eat all day long. The scone nuggets were a must have this year. Now that Hailey's son, Michael, is growing up we all really wanted to go witness his excitment to ride the train and lightning McQueen rides. This ride however was one of the bigger rides that Michael had to be 46" to ride by himself, or could go with an adult. So Hailey went with him to show him how fun a rollercoaster can be.
He looks terrified! "Izma, puts your hands in the air!!"
Then this picture is sooo cute too! Ol' country horse loving Mom was so excited to let Michael experience everything she loves and grew up with. It just looked so fun! Hailey is a good little mom.
This is my "little" group of singers all so excited for the "big" game! We sang the Star-Spangled Banner before a high school varsity football game, which they finally won. The kids believe it was because of our singing that they won. They all got extra credit for coming and were all so dedicated to wearing our school color, green. Hee Ha Ha I like to think when I was this age I thought of the high school level as the pros like these little nerd bombers do. (nerd bombers is what Peter calls all my sweet little kids)
