Goings on

Uncle Mark and Aunty Kim got married!
It was a beautiful outdoor wedding at the family farm. Lots of room for the kids (and adults) to run around and burn off energy, and a fantastic sunny day.

And, in true farmer fashion, they arrived at the reception (which was about 20 feet away from the ceremony) on the quad. Which got washed first, at least. Photo credit for this one goes to Aunty Alice, I was too busy keeping track of a 2 year old.

Who spent the entire ceremony munching crackers and guzzling water.

The night before, Aunty Naomi came over to paint her toenails to match her dress, so Katie had to have painted nails too. Good thing I managed to find some super-quick-drying polish for her!

Today when we checked out our yard, we found lots of big apples,

in the enormous apple tree.
(someone should really prune that thing)
Fat, juicy raspberries that taste so good, but you have to brave the nettles to get to them!
Cauliflower!

And tomatoes! Pay no attention to the weeds, please.
Some of those tomato plants are about 2 inches shorter than I am. And about 3 feet wide. It's getting jungly in there.

Today's haul.
Red & blue potatoes, a few peas, 3 cherry tomatoes, and 2 strawberries.
Yum!

I cannot believe how much that garden has grown in the month since we left, and where the heck did that apple tree come from? You guys must have some amazing supersoil there!
