A Peachy Day!

Sunday was packed with family fun filled goodness as Colby, Camryn and I headed out to Schnepf Farms to go Peach Picking! As some of you may know I am an experiences peach picker starting at a young age picking peaches with my Grandparents in Texas so, this trip was nostalgic and fun. We started our journey off with a peach cinnamon roll at the Country Store (why have I not thought of this before!)...Camryn sampled some of the pureed peach but spent most of the time trying to lick the sugar off her lips or eat the paper napkin we were using to try to avoid a breakfast disaster. After finishing our breakfast we headed over to the hayride line to catch a tractor that would take us into the orchard to do the picking.

Camryn enjoyed her first hayride and then ventured into the trees with us to fill our box! After picking our fill, I thought we had a reasonable amount of peaches, we ended up with 15 lbs of peaches...in other words I am making peach baby food and cobbler this week.

After packing up our peaches and heading home to get out of the heat we decided to explore some of the new home developments in our area and check out the model homes (a favorite pastime of both Colby and myself). Our first stop was the Anthem of the South- my parents live in the Anthem in North Phoenix so if you are familiar with that community- copy and paste and you can visualize where we were. The models there were a flop but the community park was the perfect opportunity for Camryn to try out a playground swing.

As you can imagine Camryn (and her parents) were pretty worn out by this time so we headed to the grocery store to pick up stuff to grill and made our way back home for dinner. We even had an dinner guest (uninvited...but a guest none the less) as Truman decided to play tag with a bird in the backyard breaking its wing leaving Colby and I trying to figure out how to get this disabled bird out of the backyard before Truman decided to "play" some more. Things eventually worked out and we enjoyed delicious homemade hamburgers courtesy of Colby.

A pretty great day to end the weekend!
