Marlee’s been to get prickly pears before, but she may have been too young to remember. She got this prickly pear picking down and loved it.
Porter and Clayton are long time pros:)
This prickly pear didn’t work out, it looks like a prickly pear and cactus pad all in one.
I love the inside of prickly pears, such a cool color.
Laun sliced this one so we could taste the center.
There was plenty to pick.
Tyler was in town, so he joined us.
Then we drove to another spot to have a cookout.
gathering firewood…
There’s nothing quite like sitting by a fire.
Laun is the master chef-he’s grilling chicken.
Dinner was chicken, beans and carrots.
As always, the boys caught plenty of creatures.
The kids were riding in the bed of the truck down the dirt road when the tarantula that was caught earlier started escaping from the bucket. It understandably freaked Marlee out to see a spider getting loose near her and she rode inside the truck from then on out.
The sunset was amazing.
Even night time doesn’t stop us, we had to get some more prickly pears. I guess we should remember that we have to process all of these.
Catching more creatures.
We got home and put the kids to bed and then Laun started processing the prickly pears.
Here is some of the prickly pear juice, such a pretty color. We will use this juice to make jelly and syrup.
