Sweet Connor's Farm

Me and my Mom took the kids to Connor's Farm in Danvers today, to pick blueberries and peaches, we had so much fun in the beautiful sunshine.
First we started by playing with the old school little tike dump trucks in the sandlot.Then we strutted it down to the fields. My Mother said "we look so city-ish, straight out of east-a bost"Someone picked....
Then someone ran...There were many little unripe green ones in that carton of her's but Bella liked her pickin's that way..."my Sunshines"
Pickin some peaches with my lil sweet peach. Just take a break from pickin and try them out, not just 1 peach, but 1 peach for each lil hand. Bella just kept testin them out to make sure they were sweet & juicy enough.
My Max was so into it, he just loved pickin the fruits, he kept yellin to me "Mama, i just found some big plump ones over here"...he was so proud. ~ I want to say, they were just chillin near the mini pond after a fun hard day's work of pickin fruits in the fields but really Bella just wanted to sit next to her big brother Jordan and Jordan was complaining about how hot he was and he was ready to go (typical Jordan, he is such a city boy), so we let him complain and then we headed on down to the peach fields where he climbed the trees and picked some beauty peaches and was happy once again. It's all about pickin the battles with these kids and knowing how to keep it calm & cool.
When we got home, I found a yummy recipe called Peach Crumb Desert, kind of like applecrisp but with peaches. So so good and ya have to have the vanilla ice cream with this type of desert, so we did. Next recipe, mama's famous blueberry muffins...
I feel a little country-ness in my soul after being at Connor Farms today, it sure was a beauty day in the country.
