The Farm

This summer we decided to explore and visit some new places in the surrounding area. Our first outing was at a farm out past Leesburg - and for the life of me I can't remember the farm's exact name. Anyway it was so much fun, and we can't wait to go back. There were animals, play grounds, tractor rides, fruit picking, and even putt putt golf.

The highlight of the trip was riding a tractor out to pick peaches. Jackson was a peach picking pro. Once he started he didn't want to stop.


After finally realizing that we didn't want the ones on the ground, he loved the challenge of picking the ones high up in the tree.


By the time we got back on the tractor, he had a bag full of peaches. We kept talking about all the things we could make, and then mommy left them on the stove while cooking something in the oven. Oops - that was the last of those peaches. At least we did get to eat one!


Jackson wanted a picture with his favorite peach.


After the peach adventure we visited the animals,


played on a tractor wheel,


and even climbed on a wooden tractor.


Of course we had to play putt putt but I didn't get any pictures of that action. We also had a picnic and jumped on a big balloon trampoline. All in all it was a great day down on the farm.
