Apples, Camels and Guatemala Girls

This month we met at a local orchard for our Guatemala Girls get together. Rosa and Ally were the first to arrive and waited patiently for the rest of our group.

We rode the train to the first stop – apple and pear picking. Alice, Roxie, Rosa and Ally sat together – Gabi is in the back row next to her mom.

Ally thought Rosa was hilarious putting the bag over her head. Alice pointed out that it was not safe to put a bag on your head. I think Roxie thought they were odd.

As you can tell Ally had a great time – picking and then eating an apple. Macintosh was the yummy variety this week.

The orchard also had these amazing grape arbors. Rosa climbed up her mom and picked a few for us to try. For the record, Ally prefers table grapes to Concord grapes.

The girls played in the kids fun area for a long time and then realized there were camel rides. How could we say no to camel rides? They waited patiently for their turn.

Shot of the day was all five of them – victorious after their camel ride and so happy.

We took a snack break and then the girls rode a caterpillar train ride. All by themselves. The 6 of us moms stood there amazed I think in the 4 years we’ve been getting together it was the first time we were alone together as adults – for 5 minutes as the girls rode.

They had so much fun – I love how serious Alice looks here.

After the rides we picked a few peaches and headed home.
