This past weekend, we packed up the kids and drove the minivan up to Coloma for a relaxing weekend at the lake. We spent time with Noonie and Papa at the pool, in the lake and in the sand. And then...on Sunday morning, we woke up early and went peach picking at Jollay's Orchard in Coloma.
We go up to Michigan for peaches and apples every year.
- Here's last year's trip in 2014 when Nat was pregnant with Frankie. We went up in September and did mostly apple picking with a little bit of peaches.
- Here's the photos from our apple picking in 2013 with the full complement of cousins.
- And...here's a post from 2011 with little Eloise eating peaches at the orchard!
Sadie slept most of the way to Michigan. When we arrived, she went right out to the deck and stayed there for almost 20 minutes. Just watching the lake.
This is the third year in a row that we went to Jollay's in Coloma - which is conveniently really close to Noonie and Papa's place. We're planning on going back later this fall for Apples, but with the Marinis overseas and Noonie visiting them during prime apple-picking season, it might be a smaller crew than normal.
On this trip, we picked Red Haven peaches, but only *some* of them were ripe enough to eat off the trees. That didn't stop SD, though.
Here's the annual photo of us with peaches in our pie holes.
Frank the Tank made his first appearance at the orchard this year. He tried a few peaches, but it was hard with him in the carrier on Nat. Since we brought home a big box of them, though, he's dug in and loves them!
