Life Lately | Peach Picking

We wanted to do a family activity that didn't involve a ton of traveling and allowed us to explore the area too. With a yearning to bake a pie and peaches being in season, peach picking it was and we knew we wanted to add a local farm to our list of things to do.

We took off for Alstede Farms, which is a great local farm packed full of fun for parent's and children, alike. Once entering the farm, we saw goats to chickens, fresh produce to beautiful plants and shared fresh peach slushies, all led for a great afternoon.

We hopped on the wagon ride that took us around the farm and to different parts of the farm property. Once we arrived to the peach trees, we had a ball watching Blake run around picking up peaches and taking little nibbles and laughing with us.

Justin and I enjoyed roaming around with our little sidekick and getting a sense of home at the same time. What is really most important, is creating our own family memories for ourselves here and allowing Blake to sense his own happiness. That feeling that we are in the right place at the right time, here in New Jersey, is something that we needed. I don't think having the house smell like a freshly baked pie and enjoying a slice (or two) was all that bad either.

Although we are still hanging on to what is left of August and the summer sun, we look forward to going back to the farm for apple season and fall fun real soon!
