Mary Jane & Don's Visit
August-September 2003
|
|
|
|
Don & Mary Jane Sublette, Steve's parents, came out from Illinois for a nice long visit the end of August and stayed past Labor Day.
|
|
|
We found a pear orchard that opened up to the public for you-pick. And we did!
|
|
|
We also took them to our favorite you-pick peach orchard.
Boy are they tasty Elberta peaches!
|
|
|
|
On our way home from the orchard we stopped to watch this team pick & pack Olathe Sweet Corn with this large machine.
|
|
|
Then we came home and had a peach freezing/canning party!
|
|
|
|
Steve picked wild choke cherries the day before Don & Mary Jane arrived. We tried our hand at making jelly with the cherries.
|
|
|
For a change of pace (and to let Don & Mary Jane get out of the kitchen) we took them Jeepin'!
|
|
|
We stopped for a picnic at 11,200 feet
above sea level.
(As proven by our altimeter.)
|
|
|
|
Don & Mary Jane checked out the old Brooklyn Mine along the route.
