Back in May and June I made sweet pickles, dill pickles, and bread and butter pickles. I let them pickle until vacation so they'd taste the best they could. Everybody kept telling me how good they were, so I guess I did an ok job. I accidentally switched the labels for the dill and bread and butter, so that led to me trying b&b pickles for the first time. They were actually pretty good!
Speaking of vacation, we had so much fun! We went to Branson and stayed in the best lodge. It was so nice to spend a whole week with my whole family without the hubby having to go to work. We spent a lot more time at Silver Dollar City than White Water because it rained and was a bit cool for a water park.
We got a ton of taffy in a bunch of different flavors and kettle corn. My oldest rode two bigger rides that he refused to go near only two years ago. Granted he said he'll never ride them again, but he still got on and rode! The youngest rode a few kiddie rides, but he loved water the most.
Every year we go to Branson we pick out a hand-blown glass ornament from the glass shop at SDC and this year I got a pretty orange one that looks like it has flames. We already have next year booked, so I can't wait to pick out the next ome!
