"Valley Girl"

This past weekend we went to the Central Valley to visit John-Mark's folks. They live in the farm country of  Reedley California where all sorts of 

delicious fruit is grown! If you've ever bought summer fruit at 

Costco , it probably came from Reedley! Gabriella had a ball with her "Omi" and "Opa" this weekend. We visited the Giant Redwoods,  visited Wiebe farms who are the Warkentin's closest neighbors and friends, visited with family and of course played with all sorts of fun toys and books at Omi and Opa's.

 I thought John-Mark was tall!!

Looking up at General Grant, the park's tallest Redwood!

 

 Reading with Omi

We had a short but really nice visit with Great- Grandma Nickel

Here we are at the Wiebe Farms packing shed.

 This fruit was believe it or not "damaged" and not acceptable to pack for the markets....

but it was perfectly good fruit and so we were fortunate enough to take home bags and bags of peaches and nectarines. Yum! You've never tasted anything like it!

 

 

Delicioso!
