Can You Handle the Heat?

There has been a little debate going on between Davey and Steve on whether or not St. George is really that hot. Davey says that he doesn't like St. George because it's too hot. The funny thing is that Davey hasn't been to St. George in the summer. So Steve made Davey promise that he would come and visit this summer to see if he could handle the heat. Last weekend we went down so he could fulfill his promise.

Anna and I decided we should do some canning while we were there. I'm going to say it was the ultimate canning marathon. We started at around noon on Saturday afternoon and didn't finish until 1:30 Sunday morning (we did take a 3 hour break in the evening for dinner and swimming). We had a lot of fun, though. We ended up with 7 quarts of marinara sauce, 18 quarts of peaches, and 12 pints of pickles. We vowed that next time we would only tackle one thing at a time, not three. I think that the peaches about killed us (peaches take forever!). So far, the consensus is that the pickles are delicious.

Adelaide and Sophie are becoming such good friends! They had such a great time playing together and get along really well. Cousins are awesome.

We finally got to eat at the Bear Paw which was delicious and the weather really was lovely. I even heard Davey mention that even though it was 106 degrees outside, it is a dry heat so it only felt like 85. Ha, ha! It's what we've been saying all along babe, it's what we've been saying all along.

Thanks for letting us come down guys, it was fun! (Apple pie filling in September Anna?)
