We took the girls to a cherry farm in the city of Cherry Valley which is about 10 minutes from us. We had such a good time...who knew picking your own cherries could be so much fun? The organic orchard is approximately 5.5 acres of delicious fruits. They offer 7 different types of cherries but also have a variety of other fruits and fresh herbs. They had a picnic area, play area for the kids and hay rides pulled by a 1939 Ford F9 Tractor. They also had a petting zoo where you could feed some of the animals (Ryley got a kick out of the Rooster and the goat). We must say, these cherries ARE the BEST we've ever had! Patty you were right...it must be because they are ripe, sweet and it certainly can't hurt your picking them yourself!! Even Kai enjoyed some cherries right off the branches.
Look at all those RED cherries!

The Williams trademark...concentrating so hard she has her tongue out!

That was some hard work, look at those ROSIE cheeks! Both girls were flushed.
Bucket full of cherries. Seven different kinds! Yummo!
