Today was all about our favorite little man Carter. This morning we took a walk down to the park, Carter in his stroller, Hannah on her bike, and the rest of us on foot.

The girls played on the playground for a bit, including letting Carter take a ride on the ducks.

He liked it until he bonked his nose; then he wasn't too happy.

Shortly after, the girls wanted to take a walk around the 1/2 mile walking track. Again, Hannah rode her bike while the rest of us walked.

I also canned 17 pints of marinara sauce today, using the half bushel of tomatoes I bought at the farmer's market on Tuesday. I'm not sure how successfully I completed this task, since the recipe indicated I should get 6 pints, and I came out with 17. The sauce never did thicken to my liking, even though I let it simmer for nearly 3 hours before adding a small can of tomato paste and some Clearjel to try to thicken it up a little. By that point I was out of patience, so I just decided to can it "as is." I am left wondering how long it would have taken to cook down to an appropriate thickness.

As the girls were going to bed, we were blessed with a second visitor for this week. Granny will be staying with us until Sunday. We're planning to attend the Bergton Fair, create works of art at You Made It!, and she and Charles will experience the Rt. 11 Yard Crawl on Saturday.
