Kiwi

If you recall back when we went Strawberry picking, there was a mention of U-Pick Kiwis and we were all wondering how kiwis grew. Well, wonder no more!


The pickers at the ready (LT is stealing DT's light, but they are just cute together!)


Arrrrr...


Small child, big orchard


Daddy toss up, times 2



After picking our kiwis, we stopped at the farmstand where we had blackberry cobbler, strawberry cheesecake, strawberry lemonade and cider. Mmmm, mmmm. Then we took a little hike down to the beach for the sunset.

Great family pictures. Are there wires between the kiwi trees or are they bushes? How close to you is this orchard? Very interesting.

Interesting orchard with yummy fruit. Are you making jam? Looks like all the boys had a good time, and is that a real view of the ocean behind you or a picture???
love all, momsie/gma

your family is so cute. oh, just an fyi regarding kiwis...rats like to nest in the vines. you might NOT want to plant one in your backyard. (ick)
