This was our first of our weekly visits to the Decatur family YMCA to work with their campers. This week, we learned about Georgia’s local fruits – about the apples that grow in the mountains in the fall and the peaches that grow in the sandy soil in the summer. We sang a song to help us remember when the fruits are seasonal:
“Peaches in the summertime,
Apples in the fall.
The fruits of the season,
We love them all.”
We also taste tested locally grown peaches and then took a vote on our favorite way to eat peaches: fresh, on pancakes, on yogurt, or in a smoothie.
