Campin' with the Crams

Over Labor Day weekend, we went camping with our friends the Crams. They invited us to go to their cabin outside of Kanab. It took FOREVER to get to their place. It was about 2 1/2 hours. We are use to a 35 minute drive up the mountain to camp. So it was a much longer trip than anticipated.
I don't think you actually classify this as camping. We went to their cabin. We had full utilities and ammenities. They have a great meadow in front of the cabin along with a swing set and a climbing thing. The kids were totally entertained for the weekend.
Sara, Tyler and I had other plans. We were going to bottle our tomatoes and corn from our garden. So we spent the afternoon on Saturday doing this. Look at those beautiful tomatoes from our garden. We had soooo much success with our garden. We had green beans, carrots, pumpkins, tomatoes, green peppers, corn, cucumbers, and watermelon. The beans were the out of control producers. I gave away at least 4 full grocery bags to my family and Sara the same. That doesn't take into account the gazillion bottles of bean we put up. I really enjoyed the garden. Next year, we are still going to work together but just a little different. This year everything was at Sara's because I didn't have a spot for a garden yet. Next year we will split the items up and share. It's more fun to work on weeding and canning with a partner in crime. Thanks Sara for thinking of the great idea of a community garden.
