Brazilian Strawberry Limeade

I had some extra limes from another recipe and decided to try this out. We didn't have any ice so I added a bunch of frozen strawberries and it made it so much better! Thought I would share...

2 limes
1/2 cup sugar (maybe a little less)
3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
3 cups water
about 10-12 frozen strawberries
ice

Wash limes thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice into eight wedges. Place limes in a blender with the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, water, and ice. 

Blend in an electric blender, pulsing 5 times. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove rinds. Serve over ice.

Then straight down to Firth

After camping, Ryan had to go back home for school but I took the boys and we headed down to Firth for my brother's farewell. For fun we went to the

I've lived next to it my whole life and have never gone. It was pretty cool actually.


There was a huge display of potato mashers
The largest potato on record was 18 lbs! That's way more than the potato Jeff and I won $100 for! Ours was only 2.9 lbs! When I figure out what's wrong with the scanner, I'll post the picture for you.

The trip was completed with an Idaho potato

On Saturday we went to the Bingham County Fair with Jeff and Kapri.
 We saw little horses
and freaking huge horses!


And of course we ate about a week worth of calories in one sitting. How could you go to the fair and pass up a teriyaki bowl, Reed's Dairy ice cream, elephant ears, and apples and cinnamon funnel cakes? You just can't, so we didn't. :)
We actually ended up finding a new car in the classifieds too. We're now proud owners of a Honda Odyssey!

Sunday was Jordan's farewell talk. He did a really good job and of course everyone was crying their eyes out! He's going to be such a good missionary! Did I mention where he's been called? Neuquen, Argentina.
