Peach Picking

For his birthday, Scott told me he wanted to go pick peaches in an orchard. Well, peaches weren't going to be ready in time for his birthday so I gave him rain check. I signed up to receive an email for when the peaches are ready and I got one 2 weeks into August saying the date. We found a day that we'd be free to go and we headed down to Payson for some peach picking! We showed up to the house and there was a table and sign saying where to pick and how much a box was. You just grab a box, pick as much as you want and then leave cash in an envelope. The peach trees were so full that we could have picked a whole box off of just one tree. Jordan and Kylie had fun eating peaches. We got 30 lbs. of peaches for $18. They were so ripe that just the next day some of the peaches were already bruising. We made smoothies and had peaches at every meal and then I froze most of them. It will be nice to have some peaches for smoothies during the winter months. Plus, it could help a certain little boy whenever he is teething. It was a fun little outing and I'm glad we were able to find a time to do it.
