A day of peach picking




Today we went peach picking at Eckerts in Bellville, IL. Yes, a different state, yet only ~40 min or so from our house. As you can see, Alex LOVED the peaches. He thought it was so great to get to eat whole peach. He didn't want to put it down! After a long day of picking peaches and a stop in the country store we went home and made a peach and blackberry cobbler. So yummy!!

We saw Bambi!


We had two baby deer in our yard today. How exciting! They seem to love the wildflowers that Dave planted. We hope to see more wildlife as the summer goes on, as long as there are no snakes!
