Peach Picking Field Trip
Today Alex and I went on our first field trip of the 2009-10 school year. We haven't officially started schooling yet but a field trip is a nice way to start the year off. We went to Forgie's Fruit Farm in Lewisburg, TN.
While waiting for other homeschoolers that were joining us on the field trip, Mrs. Forgie showed us this giant peach that they picked. They think it might be a world record peach. It weighs 2.15 lbs!! Just one peach! The world record peach last year was 1.8 lbs.
Then he takes us further on and we see the rows of peach trees and sweet cherry trees. He drove us around the lake (beautiful drive) and then back to the orchard. We all got baskets and headed on down the rows to start picking peaches.
Alex sees a beautiful peach right away and put it in his basket. He proceeded to fill his basket rather quickly. I was picking some and putting them in my own basket...and then my little helper started filling my basket too. LOL! He wanted to keep picking but his basket was getting too heavy to carry.
