Sunday we spent the afternoon potato picking, yes you heard me right potato picking. My mother found out about a farm that lets you pick potatoes after their machines have gone through. They leave the feilds for 3 days and let people come in and pick all the potatoes you want for free, so the ones that are left that the machines can't get don't go to waste. I think that is awesome that a farmer would do that....We had a blast, it was like treasure hunting the kids made a competition out of it to see how could find the biggest potato. Well Jacob the 11 year found the "biggest ever in the history of potatoes" like he said... He was so impressed with it he carried it with him the rest of the day, he even named it "the beast". It was definately a humbling experience for the kids when they realized this is how people in the olden days before we had all this new fancy machinery harvested their crops with their own two hands... Took this picture after we were finished getting a huge box full and about 7 shopping bags full. I figured I should get documentation of my two little "couch potatoes" actually working pretty hard I was quite impressed. And they were actually laughing and having fun while working that was even more impressive. I will post a picture of Jacob's beast potatoe as soon as he gets home. He really wanted to get a good picture of it himself, he was so proud of it.
