Give me some of your tots . . .

Look at that mountain of starchy goodness!

We recently took a trip to the A-Daddy's homeland. It was quick, but nice. We experienced our first, "Oh crap, we have a child in school now--we can't just stay on vacation until dad needs to get back to work."

picking out clods

We did opt to miss a day of academic training to teach our kids where REAL FOOD comes from. Although neither one of them really likes a baked spud or even mashed ones, they are definitely fans of the fried and chip varieties. Yes, I am a dietitian and yes, my children eat chips and fries!

They sure love you Jadems!

It was fun to have them learn all about the process of harvesting spuds.

The lovely tour guide

Thanks for the tour, the strong work, and of course the HUMONGOUS box of spuds fresh from the producer! We sure are lucky folks!
