Wilcox Peach Festival

We took a quick weekend trip down to Wilcox, AZ for their annual peach festival. Gavin grew up in Wilcox so the Smiths make a couple of trips down there every year and showed us the ropes. We got to take a tractor ride to the peach fields and then take these green wagons to put our freshly picked peaches in. The kids had a great time picking the peaches off the trees and "gently" putting them into our buckets. I kept telling Drew to be soft - don't throw them into the bucket. So he'd carefully walk the peach up to the bucket, then lob it in... I guess that's just a 2 year old boy!

We were pretty sweaty and dirty by the end of it, but it was a lot of fun, and we were so excited to eat some delicious, juicy peaches. After the festival, we hung out at the ranch (Gavin's grandmother's home) for the afternoon. The kids got to check out all the land, and go on a ride in the Rhino. It was a long weekend, but super fun! Our drive home took us a little longer than we wanted (we had to make 3 or 4 bathroom stops, a dinner stop, and change a flat tire). Our tire was completely shredded, and our spare isn't a full size spare, so we couldn't drive faster than about 40 mph. The Smith's were so kind, and followed us home the whole way to make sure we didn't have any more tire trouble. Our slow speed & stops added another 2 hours to our trip.
