Cherry Picking and a Swim

It's been awhile, so I figured I should post a few pictures.

Today my parents and I drove down towards Niagara Falls and dropped by our favorite vineyard to pick up some yummy fruit wines on the way to cherry picking with the kids.

Funny, the cherries I picked up from Costco the other day were much tastier (firm and sweet), while these were mushy and sweet. But, the kids had fun, so that's all that matters. Plus, we ended the day with a swim and dinner out with friends. The day couldn't have been more perfect! Ok, I lied. It would have been absolutely perfect if D could have joined us cherry picking. I know he would have loved it.

Mom and the not too happy kids after the "long" (for them) car ride to the cherry farm:

It has been a while.
santa to cherry picking!
great photos.

It's on my list of to-do's to get down to Niagara for some fresh fruit before the summer ends.
Especially considering my parents & brother live there!
bad me.

I didn't know you had a blog, too!

I just went by your bath and body etsy shop and caught myself drooling on my keyboard! They look SO yummy :)

And your kids are adorable! I remember picking fruits as a kid, and the fruits of my labour always seemed to taste sweeter.

You mean I have a blog, but am not actively updating it. LOL

Thanks! I think the kids are cute too, but I'm biased. :)

Let me know what you want to sniff and I can bring samples next time we get together.
