July 18—Homemade Jam, Cousins & a Few Chickens

Jam

Spent our second day in the country with Aunt Mimi and her three cute girls.  While the kids played Mindy and I smashed bucketful's of strawberries into freezer jam. I bet you never knew the secret ingredient to great jam is cherry diet Pepsi!  Add just a little bit to each batch…just kidding…drink it while mashing berries to keep sane while everything in your house turns sticky and your kids run wild around the kitchen.

While Mindy and I  made  jam the kids spent the day chasing chickens, playing at the park, watching a movie and eating popcorn.  Ian even slept over for two nights which was so brave of Aunt Mindy because Ian + Syd = roughly the noise level of a full stadium.
