It's that time of year again, so we loaded the kids up and called Grandpa John to see if wanted to join us. Who could say no to fresh peaches?!

We had to walk through the plums to get to the peaches. They said that if we were selective, we'd be able to find a few good plums. It took a while, but I found a delicious one. We each got a bite, but by the time it got to Matthew, he
wasn't sharing. He got the rest of the plum all to himself!

The variety of peaches were 'flame peaches' and they were absolutely delicious!

The inside was just as red as the outside, which made for a funny looking peach cobbler later, but it was still yummy!

I think Matthew ate about 5 peaches in addition to that plum he hoarded.

I love how he was holding onto the peaches with 2 hands!
