Peach Picking 2014 @ Apple Annies


teamwork...until they fought over the wagon

pouty-faced Brandon....someone does not like his picture being taken!

Looking for the perfect peach








Tricked him into taking a pic with Momma

...homemade ice cream
We started our adventure off by arriving early to Apple Annies Orchard to eat our fill of the yummy pancake breakfast, then it was off to pick some peaches!  My goal was to pick one bucket of peaches but Kevin and the boys had other intentions....so two bucket were filled.
The boys love to pick the fruit and are more than happy sampling the peaches.  Mason was thrilled to ride the tractor back and Brandon was more impressed with the windmill other technical items around the orchard. 
So fifty pounds later, I was on a mission to not waste a single peach.  We had peach salsa and homemade peach ice cream that night, and it was all delicious. 
Can't wait to go back next year!

Happy 4th!!!!

What a great night at the Thome 4th BBQ!!!!  The kids and adults all had a blast and the evening could not have been better.  We even got to see some fire works from their backyard.  (in the pic: Mason, John, Ally, Brandon, Luke, Owen, and Chloe).
