We have had a great September. For Labour Day we went camping to Bear Lake with Al's family and the weather was great this year.
Gavin, Luke and Braden playing on the beach.
My hubby Alex.
The little cousins had a blast running through the water even though it was freezing.
Alex and his sister Jodi.
Luke, Gavin and Braden loved playing with the dirt in camp. I have stayed busy with school and canning peaches. My friend just brought me a box a plums too, so I'm about to attemp some plum jam. And we can't forget what fall means in farm country. Yep, corn choppin time. The last week and a half Alex has been busy at the dairy. Corn choppin lasts about a month working day and night many times. They needed more dump truck drivers to haul the corn to the pits, so Alex has also been driving for them every night after work. They have something like 900+ acres of corn to chop and one of their choppers broke the other day. Anyway, Luke and I usually get to go ride along and Luke loves seeing the big tractors and riding in the dump truck. He just sits in there for hours every night making choo choo noises (we haven't quite got him to understand that tractors and trucks don't say choo choo). I took some videos of the chopper filling our dump truck cause I thought it was kind of interesting how it works.

Luke and Momma
The dump trucks drive next to the chopper and the chopper shoots the chopped corn into the back. I keep forgeting to roll my window up when we're next to the chopper and end up being sprayed with corn.
