Ten years ago when Erica was born I started spending all day of every Wednesday with her. That was my day off from work and my day of fun with her. In 2007 when Cole and Cash were born they joined us in our fun. I have told the parents of other grandchildren born since then that they are welcome to add any and all of their little ones to join us. All they have to do is bring them to St. George!!!! Preferably, to live!!! This Wednesday in June began with watersliding in the backyard.
They have helped me pull beets in the past and I knew they liked to and were very good at it so I told them we could do that job.
Cash knew how to find the really big ones. They went crazy with it and I was glad. Krista and Natalee are coming next week and wanted to do some canning but peaches aren't on yet so I thought we could practice on the beets.
They were great workers. I am not kidding, I could have never done all this without them.
Everyone had a job to do in our beet factory!! Cole moved the washed beets up to the table so Erica could cut the greens off and sort the beets by size.
There were hundreds of them laying out on the lawn. I just have to say that even tho' none of my kids will eat a beet I think they look so pretty growing in the garden AND I do love to eat them..... Marc eats them with me, he doesn't love them as much as I do but he likes them. Best of all he plants them!!!
Here is the grand final project!! Pickled Beets.
