Visiting McDermotts and Picking Fruit

We were able to go up to Connecticut over Labor Day weekend to visit Justin and Ashley and kiddos. Here you can see Luke flying. Justin is definitely a fun daddy.


They had the wonderful idea of taking us to an orchard. Jack was obsessed from the start. He loved it. Here is a pear that he picked. 


And his personal favorite...the nectarine. We had repeatedly told him that we were picking the fruit off the trees, not the ground. And that the ones on the ground were yucky. But as I was picking a nectarine off a tree, I hear Jack say, "this one isn't yucky mom, it's yummy." 


The nectarines didn't even make it into the car at the end of our trip. We ate an entire grocery bags worth in less than 48 hours. 


We also picked several different types of apples. Jack loved getting his daddy's help to reach the fruit. 

I have the best boys in the world. 


Ashley is a genius, and she gave me this idea of how to organize my spices. It has totally changed my world when it comes to cooking. Everything is alphabetized and it is so easy to just scoop out of these jars. (they are baby food jars that she had saved). Pure genius.
