We had an open Saturday which some of us homebodies relish, but some of us doers and goers don't. So naturally, Brian planned a family day trip. We drove to Fredericksburg to pick peaches. We were advised to be there when it opened and I was glad we were because the field was a hayride away and the line of people when we were heading out just waiting on a shuttle to the fields was crazy.
Hannah was less than thrilled about doing a family activity that involved being outside. She was a pretty good sport though despite the dirty, sweaty aspect, though she didn't pick one single peach.

Bob quickly decided that he didn't know which ones were ripe to pick and moved on to spraying himself (and others) with the squirt bottle.

Genevieve and Isaac were the ones to do the majority of picking, although the rest of us did pitch in. We left with two giant boxes of peaches, peach cider, and peach salsa.
Then we went into downtown to get lunch at a German restaurant and do some window shopping. Daddy was feeling super generous as he often does on these types of family excursions and let the kids pick a scoop of ice cream or some fudge at a candy store.

Here are the kids enjoying one of the batches of peach ice cream.

| In retrospect, she was happy we had picked all the peaches when she got her ice cream. |

| Good to the last drop! |
