The Idaho Experience

We picked potatoes! You might be surprised to know that I have never actually done that before. On second thought, if you are reading this blog chances are you know me fairly well. So I guess that doesn't come as a surprise at all. 😃 The best part was that we got to take home all the spuds we picked for free. We must have brought home at least 60 pounds! Much to Emma's dismay we will most likely be eating potatoes all through the winter. 

We all had fun. Even Emma, who can hardly bear to sit at a table where potatoes are being served, got in on the picking fun. Okay, mostly she liked the horses. But she did harvest a few spuds of her own! 

The real reason we went to pick potatoes. Horses. Makes sense, right? 

This kind man could see the love in Emma's eyes for his horses and asked her if she would like to drive them. She eagerly agreed and they were off!

We finished up our fun day with a hay ride back to our car. It was a fun day and we all enjoyed the experience. Although I don't think anyone is too anxious to become a potato farmer. They sure do work hard! Maybe we'll plan to go back next year and harvest another 60 pounds to last us through next winter.
