With Dan up in Maine for frisbee, the kids and I headed back to Parlee Farms for peach and blueberry picking.
Peaches first! We got to take a hayride out to the orchard, which was certainly part of the appeal of the whole adventure. The farmers directed us to down the right rows and off we went to fill our box.
But before long, we realized we better sample what we were picking!
Dagny took a short break for some contemplating.
We all enjoyed a peach (Finley's second) and then made our way back to the hayride pick up area.
Finley carefully held onto our goodies on the bumpy ride back and proudly didn't let one peach fall.
Selfies in the sun.
Next, we put our peaches in the car and then grabbed some containers for blueberries and made our way to the patch. We agreed we'd only pick a couple of pounds this time (last time we picked 9!).
Time to see if they are just as delicious as the peaches!
Indeed!
Finley kindly carried back both buckets and thankfully, we only picked 2.1 pounds this time!
Of course, we had to get some of their fresh blueberry mini donuts before riding the tractors and feeding the goats.
It's always sad to say goodbye to summer, but lots of school fun on the horizon for fall!
