{ moving to the country...} ::

gonna eat me a lot peaches! mmmm peaches! fresh, ripe (well almost ripe) right off the tree peaches! we went peach picking with friends last week and it was fabulous! 

 every since we've moved to Richmond, tons of people have told me that when fall comes around we just have to go up to Carter Mountain Orchard and pick apples. well if you know us, we love picking apples, like here, here and here. But i thought, what fun it would be to pick something else, besides apples. so i got on carter mountains website and found that they had peaches to pick! so picking peaches is what we did! another first for the brody bear and i!

 

it was a hot hot HOT day! but we were lucky to have such great friends who wanted to join us for the fun! it all started with the idea that pushing the kids in the wagons was a good idea, maybe for like the first 2 minutes until they all decided it would be more fun to walk, and of course brody (love him!) ran, because he doesn't know how to walk. it was a good 10 minute walk (hike) up to the peach tree orchard. we were lucky to have our friends the Garners get there before us and we met them up there. Emily had already picked, so she showed us where to go. Lots of yummy peaches! pretty sure everyone loved it!

 

we seriously picked for maybe 10 minutes?? maybe 15 minutes but seriously no longer than that, because we were all so hot and sweaty and sticky from smashed peaches all over the ground. so after our speed picking we made the walk, (hike) back to the country store to pay for our peaches.

 

we paid for our peaches and bought some yummy treats and ate them in the shade. nothing taste yummier on a super hot day than peach ice cream! it was quite tasty!! and it doesnt hurt to eat a peach donut as well. double yum!

 

we finished off our adventure with checking out the beautiful view one last time, seriously so beautiful!! to be honest...it was HOT! i can't say that enough. haha! but we all endured and i am so happy we did! and i am so glad that we did this! we've had some very yummy peachy treats to enjoy and i would do it again! 

and have i mentioned how much i love this little guy? i may of had to yell his name a million and one times to tell him to stay with us or not to throw or roll the peaches... i'm SO happy that he's mine and that we love doing such fun things together. he's the best little partner ever!! and look at that face! you can't not smile. love!
