On Sunday, we headed up the road on a whim to GET LOST!

These are kinda all over the place but they represent the last week. Maybe if I had been doing this on Foto Friday all summer, I wouldn’t have let over 500 pictures get backlogged in my “need to edit and blog” list.
Friday we picked the corn that was ready before all the worms ate it.

I’m in the wrong business.

These guys netted $50 on their lemonade stand in one day!

What Food Summer Learning Theme wouldn’t be complete without a tour of potato chip factory?  Don’t answer that.

It was like our very own live version of How It’s Made.  Highlights included eating chips fresh out of the fryer and 1/2 price bags from the Oops! Section.

All of our tomatoes this year are volunteer.  That just means they grew out of the compost we spread throughout our garden.  We didn’t buy a single tomato seed or plant this year.  As they sprouted like weeds all over our garden, we transplanted the heartier ones to our tomato patch.  The fun part with [...]

Bowling

I would also recommend visiting on a day that is less than 100 degrees.

Surprisingly, Ty survived [...]

The highlight of our week?  Mia, Ty, and I got to see a Blue Morpho Butterfly up-close and personal.  Even better?  We got pictures to prove it.

I wish you could understand just how elusive these guys were.  They seemed to be taunting all of us who just wanted one good shot.  They rarely landed and [...]

Blackberries

I should have taken a bigger bowl out.
