Cherry Picking

This weekend we went to visit the grandparents near Charlottesville. Last summer we found a place to go cherry picking, so we headed there again yesterday afternoon. The trees had been picked over pretty well from about 7 feet down, so it was kind of tricky to reach the cherries. And it was a HOT day. Jake and Grandad definitely got their exercise in lifting all the children, but the cherries were delicious. The kids, naturally, ate quite a lot in the field. We brought about 4 pounds of cherries home and we had cherry cobbler last night for dessert. Yum!
