Yesterday I called six U-Pick farms in our area and I found out I totally missed the Blenheim apricot season and only one farm even had apricots! When I chatted with the lady she didn't know how long she'd even have apricots with the heat we are having so this morning we decided to go and check them out. Well, we get to the stand and they don't have any cases of apricots left (like they did yesterday), but they did have one box of over-ripe apricots (which were looking kind of muddy). Well, I decided I'd better get them and we'll see how jam making goes later this week. (???) While we were there, we also decided to pick some peaches and nectarines.

We came home and Daddy worked on prepping the dirt for our sod delivery tomorrow while the kids played with the water balloons and got soaked. Then we decided to call Grandma and Grandpa to see what they were up to and find out if we could come over for a swim! They said to come on over so we hopped into the car and headed for Stockton. The kids and Daddy swam and once the sun set we had the best fireworks show ever!
