The morning started cool, but the temperature rose quickly and we were pretty hot. We brought water but left it with the stroller instead of taking it on the wagon -- big mistake!
While we waited to board the wagons, the kids held a couple snakes they kept in tubs
On the wagons:
We picked corn, potatoes, cabbage, kohlrabi, leeks, onions,beets, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, butternut squash, acorn squash and pumpkins.
All of the kids ate some corn, but Liam had 3 ears by himself!
After we picked the veggies and hauled them to our car, we were extremely hot, thirsty and hungry. We sat at some tables in the shade to eat lunch. At least Chase, Liam and I did. The other three still somehow had energy to go back out in the hot sun and play.
On the way out, we stopped to pose for pictures with their collection of "Cars".
When we got home and set out all the vegetables, we realized we ended up with a lot more than we'd thought!
That night, Chase made a vegetable soup recipe from his favorite chef, Alton Brown. We gave two bags full to a neighbor and two bags to a friend. Now we're working on what to do with the rest. :)
