Hey! Some food for thought!

Well, I finally got my pictures all uploaded to my home computer, and boy is this overwelming!  I have so much I want to share!  So, to make it easy on me I decided to share my favorite food adventures from our trip.  I can't believe that I didn't get a picture of it all, but it's the taste that you will miss out on most.

Since being pregnant, I have had the strongest aversion to any Mexican food.  Just the thought of it made me want to puke.  However, within the last month (basically since I started feeling better) I have been craving it.  Lucky for us, we got to get our Mexican food!  I was in heaven.  Randy's mom and step dad took us, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.  The girls got some fried ice cream, and that's about all that they ate, but they were happy.

I think that this picture is funny cause you can see Emma teasing Randy with her ice cream.  She was going to wipe it on him, and he's ducking.

Isn't that thing HUGE?  

My next craving I got to indulge in was FRESH SEAFOOD.  I miss it so much since living in Oklahoma.  When we were at my parent's house we drove to the coast, a fishing town, and got the freshest seafood you could eat.  Oh, I'm drooling just thinking about it.  I ordered seafood chowder, and randy got fish and chips.  The girls got halibut and crab legs (kids sizes), and it was all done to perfection.  

Next, is blueberries!  My family LOVES blueberries too.  Ok, well, we love all good food.  We went picking and got 70 lbs.  They were big, and beautiful, and juicy, and we probably all ate about 5 pounds each while we were picking ( I know, bad), they were sooo good.

Here are the 70 lbs.  There are some under the van seats, if you can see them.  We froze most of them, ate a box, and then mom made a cobbler with blueberries and blackberries that we had picked.  It was the best and freshest cobbler I've had in at least 4 years.  Oh, and the blackberries were so sweet and big and juicy.  

We went on a hike and guess what I saw?!  Huckleberries.  Tons of them.  However, this was the torturous part of the trip, because they were there to taunt me but they were all green still.  Not ripe at all.  I was so sad.

BUT, we DID get fresh Washington peaches from Royal City (Randy's home town).  They have orchards like crazy there, and I PROMISE you, there is nothing like fresh produce.  Straight from the plant.  Those peaches and nectarines were so sweet and juicy and good!  It was like eating a cube of sugar, they were so sweet.  Mom and I made a batch of peach jam, and I got to bring it home with me.  I'm hoarding it.  I really miss all of that good food.  So, if you see me and wonder if I'm looking bigger because of food or pregnancy, don't worry.  It's all baby.  =)
