Picking Peaches

Yesterday, I took the girls out to the orchard to pick some peaches. Sam was so excited to do this, and I had hoped that Sophia could also partake, but we had a couple of obstacles. First, the mosquitos were so bad down in the orchard that we had to hurry to get our peaches. Secondly, Sophia was starting to develop a cold (which has now turned into coughing, wheezing and a runny nose this morning), so she wasn't really feeling like her usual happy self.

Nonetheless, I was able to get some pictures of the girls and we have a nice half bushel of peaches that are ripening in my kitchen as we speak. I plan to make a cobbler and a pie and then start getting some baby food ahead for Sophia in the freezer, starting with the peaches.

Once we got there, we found that some of the branches were low:

And some of the branches were high:

No matter what, Sam always managed to get a peach:

Sophia paused for a quick picture (no smiles, but my little girl wasn't feeling well ...):

But, first, she couldn't resist tasting one of them!

I was so proud of my girls:
