We had such a lovely vacation! We traveled to Utah for Aaron's family reunion and were able to stop by Idaho to visit my Grandma on our way there. Here are some pictures:

Gorgeous cherries, aren't they?!

Me, beating Aaron's little hiney while racing down the alpine slide in Park City. It was such a blast!! If you ever make it to this beautiful city you must treat yourself to this slide! It's much like bob sledding down a mountain but in the summer...so fun!
I wish I could share all the pictures with you but it would fill up all the pages on my blog! Also, many thanks to my Uncle Lynn and Aunt Tara for hosting us our last three days in Utah...
we had such a great time.
I feel so blessed to have been able to visit so many relatives while there. I have so many wonderful family members...I love you all!
And I hope all of you, my lovely readers, are enjoying your summer!
Until next time...

Pamela
All your fam seems to have a garden or farm of some sort! Oats, wow! And those cherries look yummy!
What a great time you must have had - sounds like a fun vacation, and that slide looks AWESOME!!!

Welcome back! Thank you for sharing such a sweet story of your family trip along with beautiful pictures. YOu have a wonderful family and relatives. And such a great nature close to your every day life. The nature of your country is huge and dynamic. By the way for the first time I tried canning for just two small bottles of blackberry sauce with a help of a Japanese cooking book my mother-in-law used to use. I was quite nervous when I steamed them. I'll see whether I did well or not. I put them in a refrigerator along with another bottle which was not stemaed anyway under our hot and dump summer climate.
