What were we up to on Labor Day? Blake and I went crazy and "labored away" canning salsa. It actually was fairly easy and I had some great help.
A sleeping child always makes it easy. Allie got neglected for an hour and fell asleep in the midst of canning
Here is my great husband chopping away. We actually tried two different ways to can our salsa; the first being to cook the salsa down for an hour, which was yummy but too soupy for our liking and the second was to just can it and steam it without cooking it down (thanks Jenny), which we loved. It came out being chunkier and fresher. Happy Canning!
We took a break mid-afternoon and went out to play with the Hansen Family at WAHOOZ. Allie was finally tall enough to ride the go karts as a passenger, thanks to her poofy hair-do. We played a quick round of mini-golf, and also enjoyed the kiddie land inside.
Cute little Miss Allie riding with daddy. She chose daddy over me for her first ride. Do I need to take a hint that he's a better driver than me?
Natalia decided to be my co-driver for the first go round
Hanging out to ride the go karts again; it was a hit!
Once again, dad was picked for the driver....man I must of not looked too impressive
The whole family is waiting to take off; Blake, Rod, and Katie all with passengers in tow
Next we hit the mini golf course. I think I'll start to call it speed golf because Allie would tend to hit the ball, then run and pick it up and drop it in the hole. We made it quickly through 18 holes
Trying ever so carefully to hit it into the house...she actually made it on her own. We may have a future golf pro in the house
Cam trying out his skills...it must be a boy thing because he had much better coordination with swinging the club. He may be the next Tiger Woods and blow Allie away
The girls were a little side tracked at the end of hole 18 and wanted to play in the house...must just be a girl thing
We ventured inside and tried out a few rides
and the jungle gym
Finally the kids decided to ride with their mothers
Allie took one spin with me and we called it a night.
Happy Labor Day!
