Peach Picking OH Boy!

It's peach picking season! We had been wanting to do this for the last several weekends but could not get ourselves out of bed early enough to venture the 1 hour drive and beat the crowds. With the heat that we have been having the peaches have been plentiful and the growers wanted them picked so they opened on this particular Sunday. We took advantage. On Sunday we headed to Fredericksburg to pick us some peaches. The kids were so excited. Before you can pick your peaches you are given a lesson:
size does not matter
forget "red" in color= just means the sun hit it more
pick yellow/orange
twist the peach off the branch

We did it! 2 huge boxes of peaches picked

Now lets eat

Picked our peaches while Coleson slept in the stroller in the shade. We came home with 28 pounds of peaches! We made: peach ice-cream, peach pie, smoothies, shared them with friends, and ate them! They were DELICIOUS!
