Pear Picking Time!

Grammy & Pa have a pear tree at their lake house and it just happened that the pears were ready to be picked on Labor Day.  The girls were quite excited to help with this job.  We had a hard time getting Ava to understand that she couldn't throw the pears into the box.  Just because they are somewhat round, does not make a pear a good ball!

Two of my favorite pictures - look at those blue eyes! 

Proudly displaying their finds! 

They even enlisted the help of their Daddy to get some pears off the tree themselves! 

 We even brought a box of pears home with us to try to can ourselves.  That maybe what we do this afternoon.  It should be an interesting adventure in and of itself!
