PEACH PICK'N AT HUBER FARM

We had been to Huber Farm before in the fall but never in the summer to pick the delicious fruits, so I decided since this would be our last summer(I cannot believe it!) we had better make a trip across the river to Indiana. We decided to pick peaches and blackberries(my mouth is watering just thinking about it). First we took a fun wagon ride out to the peach orchard which was beautiful, and picked to our hearts content. There isn't anything better than fruit right off the tree! Right next to the peaches they had nectarines and I had one of those and thought I'd died and gone to fruit heaven! Why oh why didn't I pick any of those!?
After we taught Liv that you don't pick them up off the ground but off the tree we decided to see what Gavin thought of the fresh fruit...anyone that knows Gavin knows how important food is to this kid, he couldn't get enough! He was so cute with juice running down his chin.
After we'd had our fill of peaches we caught the wagon back so we could get on another wagon and head over to the berry patch. Gavin loved these berries even more than the peaches! When we pulled up to the blackberries I saw red ones, so I asked our driver if the red color meant they weren't ripe. He said "yep, you wouldn't want to bite into one of those!" So what does Wayne do as soon as he drives away? You guessed it! What a nerd.
We ended the day with a picnic lunch by the pond and Liv fed her leftovers to the swans, coy and turtle that were all swimming together. This is definitely one place I'm going to miss when we move!

I love Gavin's happy face! How fun to have something like that so close. I'm sure we've got something like that around here I've just never looked! I will now, before it gets to late.
