Picking Peaches and Jam

 The kids were fascinated by the peaches with bugs all over them...me not so much! Yuck!

 Smashing the peaches for jam...and yes, she's wearing a swimsuit....

 This does look a little dangerous, we opted for a vegetable peeler instead.

On Saturday, Luke and I took the kids to the Guy Peach Festival.  Well, it turned out to really be a bust.  We ate their pancake breakfast which was WAY expensive for the 2 pancakes we got.  The festival wasn't even in full swing at 11 am!   We ended up going to Cadron Orchard and picked peaches.  The kids had never done this before.  It was neat taking my kids someplace we've taken Lily before.  They loved it.  We got 30 bucks worth of peaches and were set.  We ate lunch in Greenbrier at Joe's Pizza.  The buffet was cold- but the fresh, hot pizza was really good!  Today, we made freezer jam.  This was so much more messier than strawberries!  I think it turned out tasty.  Can't wait to try some! I told the kids that their Great Grandma (Lillie Mae Hill) used to say the peach pit tasted like Dr. Pepper.  I don't think it does, however, Robert is convinced she is right!  In fact, he thinks the entire batch of jam tastes like Dr. Pepper.  Whatever floats your boat!
