Cherry Picking Road Trip

It's fruit picking time again. This time we picked cherries and Elijah LOVED it (unlike the blueberries last year) We went with friends, Chris and Chiaki. They are both teachers and speak Japanese and English fluently....which really helped us out in knowing what kind of cherries we were eating.

Elijah and Hannah (Chiaki's daughter) Yep, she is bilingual too!
Eddie THOUGHT he was a professional sweet cherry picker by the end of the 60 min we spent in the cherry picking area!
Goof!

The yellow cherries were my FAVORITE! Super sweet - they were a Japanese variety!
Yep, we let our son climb a ladder in FLIP-FLOPS to pick the cherries that were at the top of the tree!

Living in Arizona does not allow people to experience picking something off a tree or bush and then just eating it... maybe citrus fruit, but just not the same thing. We picked rasberries and cherries in Oregon a couple summers ago and the kids loved it! So much fun to do things like that.

You can Jaime!! Check out Date Creek Ranch. You can pick peaches and apples. It is only like an hour up Grand.
