Peaches!

A few weeks ago we ventured to a local farm for it's annual Peach Festival. We've been a few years now, and it's always fun, there are rides and games for the kiddos, the longest line EVER to get peach pancakes, fresh-baked peach pies, and the reason we really go, peach picking.  After waiting in a loooong line to get on the hay ride to take us out to the orchard we were ready to do some peach picking.  Z was especially excited, because he LOVES peaches, and doing *anything* all.by.himself.  So this was perfect, he got right to it, climbing over dirt mounds to get to the low hanging fruit
He put most of the peaches in the boxes for us to buy and take home, a couple *may* have gotten lost in his mouth, and a couple more fell on the ground and were deemed "ewww! dirty with bugs!!" The peaches were a little green, but they still looked mouthwatering.
And daddy graciously helped Z get to the higher fruits when Z decided he was "all done!" with the lower ones.
The weather was near perfect for this excursion, just flirting with being super hot, thankfully the farm had coolers of ice water throughout, the peaches could have used a few more weeks to ripen up, but Z had a blast anyways.
