Picking Peaches

Every year we drive into the Gorge to pick fresh peaches and can or freeze them.

The weather was perfect and we were able to get lots of delicious peaches!


Katelynn and her Mommy taking a stroll in the orchard.


Katelynn kept herself busy playing in a box for quite awhile! :)
Naomi - she has beautiful eyes! :)
Naomi and her Mommy. :) We drove down in Charity's Sprinter - lots of room for peaches in the trunk of that rig! :)
Debbie up on the ladder picking the biggest peaches. :)
Don't you feel your mouth watering?? ;)
Debbie was the brave one to climb on top of the ladder and take this shot! :)
While she was on top of the ladder, she snapped a few over the top of the orchard. A church in the distance, and also look at the top left corner - see a structure? ....we'll get to that part later! :)
New best buddies! :)
A branch laden with fruit
heavenly! :)
Me and my favorite little neice. :)
Kate with her Grandma - I like how their facial expressions are the same. :)
Katelynn peeking through my legs as I was helping her to walk. :)
A gorgeous view of the Gorge! :)
Remember that structure in the previous picture? Well, here it is! Our very on Stonehenge in Oregon! :)

That slab in the middle was supossedly used for human sacrifices. Yikes! (at the one in Europe, not THIS one) :)

The pictures are awesome, as always! Picking peaches looks fun, that's something I've never done.

I am craving a juicy peach now. Ours in the store here haven't been that nice!

I loved the ladder and peaches photo, definitely worth it! It's so cool.

So what's the story behind your local stone henge?!

Chatty - I believe the stonehedge is a tribute built for the men who gave their lives in war. It was built in the early 1990's as a replica of the one in Europe, although it doesn't track the time by the sun like the original was supposed to.
