Peach Picking

Hannah didn't see much on her first upick experience - she ate & slept..the whole time!

We met with the MOPS on Wed to pick peaches at Hartland Orchard which is about 45 min west of us. It was a really lovely orchard and the trees were just LOADED with peaches! We didn't have a hard time finding things to pick at all. Also, they let you just drive all over the orchard and you can park right where you pick so there is no hiking all over in the tall weeds and getting itchy. So the kids got to stand on the van - it was the best part of the day. The big kids didn't really get into the whole thing but they did it and didn't really complain...much. Hannah just got hot and sweaty and was not all that happy to be out there, either, but she'll like it this winter when she's enjoying her first solids - frozen peaches!
