Play Ball!!

We headed downtown Seattle this afternoon to go see the Mariners play the Twins...


Safeco Field... It was a beautiful day, I think it got up to 72 degrees...lovely!



Logan tearing into a huge bag of popcorn.


Grandpa and Logan.


And....the Mariners won 5-1!  Yahooo!

Everett Beer Festival

This afternoon we went to a Beer Festival in Everett.

Lots of local micro brews.



Stu, Matt, Mike and Seth.



And lots of cool t-shirts...





Now, I've seen a lot of crazy vending machines in women's bathrooms...believe me!  But I have to say this is the craziest one I've ever seen!  It's a curling iron...only $2 for 2 minutes or $5 for 5 minutes...what??

Tomatoes, Tomatoes, Tomatoes!

OK, so if you remember the picture of that ginormous tomato a couple of days ago, well it alone made a whole tomato pie!  Soooo yummy!


We had a BIG haul of tomatoes from the garden yesterday!  Check out this huge pot of crushed tomatoes!  It was an all day affair and I was covered with tomato goo... which is why I'm wearing one of Stu's shirts...hee hee!  Exhausting, but so worth it!


Taa-Daa!  15 quarts of crushed tomatoes...that makes a total of 52 quarts so far (minus one for dinner last night).  Not too shabby, and we aren't done yet!


We did some dill pickles the other day too.
