Summertime Means Freezing Time!

I love to enjoy summer fruits and vegies during the winter. This was the first summer I really started to get my hands wet with freezing. I haven't tackled canning yet (other than strawberry jelly)....maybe next year! Here are some pics of the applesauce I did. My mom did one batch with me and then I did a second batch on my own. It is delcious and it is fun to watch Simon eat it on his own with his spoon! He is growing up and will love homemade applesauce all winter long :)

Simon's First Baseball Game

Last Saturday we went to a local Independent League (like minor league baseball) game here in Lancaster. The ballpark is great - very kid and family friendly as they have playgrounds, a carousel, water bumper boats, and loads of ballpark food. It was extremely hot (6:30 game) and the sun was drilling our seats. So we hit the playground up for some free entertainment until the sun sank a bit. When it had cooled down we decided to give sitting down and watching the game a try. It actually went pretty well! Snacks and french fries can go a long way when trying to keep a 1-year-old occupied. In addition to a straw! We had a lot of fun even though we had to leave before the game was over. Simon got to bed an hour later than normal but didn't have any meltdowns. He told me he liked the baseball game!!!
