Ashlyn and Gavin decided to help mommy make some dilly beans. For those of you who are not familiar with this...it is essentially making pickles out of green beans. First we "snap the beans". Taking all the stems off and such...then we measure them to fit the pint size jars and break them accordingly. We then stuff the jars, put in a clove of garlic, some dill weed and then pour scalding hot vinegar and salt solution over them. Put the lids on and wait about 6 weeks to eat...they are YUMMY!

The kids seemed to have so much fun doing this... it always amazes me how kids seem to take such and interest in things that adults are doing...
