Fitness Week: biking, running, golfing

Fitness week was cut short by the start of our New England road trip. But, we did pack in a few things before we left. We went on a family bike ride one evening which was super fun. We rode 7 miles on the American Tobacco Trail. The boys did much better in the bike trailer this time and Elsa was a bundle of energy, ready to ride another 7 miles (Amelia, not so much).

We walked around this little lake one evening and Ben took turns running with the girls.

And finally, a little disc golf in crazy hot weather.

Farm Week: picking peaches

After we loaded up on blueberries, it was time for peaches. Some of the peach trees had been infested with huge beetles which sent all the girls screaming and running. The girls wanted nothing to do with the peaches but Oliver and Simon stuck around and helped me pick a bushel. The peaches were huge and beautiful. So many branches were drooping to the ground under the weight of the peaches. Simon had fun tossing peaches into the basket.

 

Farm Week: blueberry picking

We finally pulled the kids away from the tire swings and sound wall and headed to the orchards. We started with blueberries. Simon was in heaven. This kid puts everything in his mouth so it was nice that it was something edible for a change.

Elsa tried to stage a photo with her brothers. Ha!

Love this fun crew!

Farm Week: Millstone Creek Orchards

We took our friends to Millstone Creek Orchards to pick blueberries and peaches. The kids ran straight for these fun tire swings. They also had this great sound wall which the kids LOVED. All kinds of pots and pans with spoons for banging.
