Greenbluff's Peach Festival

At the Harvest House in Greenbluff there's live music (supplied by a decidedly elderly, yet surprisingly energetic band), fresh lunch faire, desserts (including donuts made before your eyes), a grassy hill that calls out to be "rolled", and of course, peaches of every variety.



The twins were especially photogenic, and all three were in a good mood as we watched the crowds and enjoyed the green slope of lawn. I love this next picture. I think it will go on our picture wall in the living room.


Silas wanted me to capture his "flight", so I did my best, although I'm sure this picture is far less exciting than the one in his imagination. 
Grandpa Pat, Yaya, and Grandma Jean all accompanied us on our farm adventure. It was a lovely outting, but I think poor Grandma Jean was set on edge the entire time because of all the dogs roaming around off of leashes. There was one great dane that was as tall as a horse!

Silas was able to ride the Wiggly Worm at Walter's Farm, a Greenbluff favorite for the kids. Walter's has a play structure and a huge covered box filled with dried peas instead of sand. I LOVE the pea pit because sand is so hard to dig out from every crease and crevice, but the peas fall right off.

Silas is a big goof ball, you can guess where he gets his charm...I'm not sure how I'll get him to smile a normal smile for the remainder of his childhood. "Normal" pictures may be a thing of the past.

What a grand farm adventure! The pictures turned out great! I didn't see any pictures of peaches. Did you taste any?

We did get some peaches, but actually the peaches were pretty expensive, so I didn't buy a bunch to can.

Love the new layout and the beautiful pictures of your beautious family. The twins just keep getting more adorable and Si"see" will always melt my heart. Good to get "caught up" a bit.(: Love ya.
