Yesterday we went peach picking at Eckert's Orchard in Belleville, IL. It was a little bit of a drive, but it was totally worth it. We really had a great time! Kyle was so excited because we took a wagon ride to pick the peaches! He is fascinated by anything with wheels, so this was right up his alley! He sat on the wagon and watched the huge wheels go round and round! We were pleasantly surprised by how much Kyle enjoyed actually picking the peaches. We picked a total of ten pounds of peaches. I need to decide what yummy treats to make with all these peaches. If you happen to have any suggesstions I would love to hear them!
Kyle looking for the perfect peach!
I think I may have found one!
Oh, here it is...the perfect peach!

Examining all the peaches he picked. 
Eckert's has three locations in Illinois. There are many fun activities at each location...from picking your own strawberries, peaches, blackberries, apples, and pumpkins, kids play areas, barnyard petting corral, country store to purchase homegrown produce, and much much more. Each location has different activities at different times of year so check the Eckert's link for all the fun details. We will be heading back in September for the apple picking and also in October for all the fun Halloween activities they have to offer. In December their Christmas Tree Farm is open if you are interested in a live tree. Below is a picture of some of the Christmas Trees they have growing on the property.
Stay tuned tomorrow for Part Two of our Weekend Family Fun. I hope everyone in the blog world had a wonderful weekend!
Can you find Mommy and Kyle?
