Berry Picking

We took a trip to our favorite local fruit farm this morning to pick some cherries and raspberries. We didn't get quite as many this year as we did last year but I have a feeling that strawberries we picked earlier will make up for the difference. And there are still blueberries to pick in a few weeks.
The children all sampled quite a few of the cherries along the way. Sometimes I am amazed that any of the fruit ends up in the baskets at all.
Bryan discovered this bird nest full of cherries.
Hard at work.
The branches on the trees at this farm are not quite as low as the ones at the farm we've been to in the past. But it's local while the other one is about 50 minutes or so away. Today's trip was more for the fruit than for the fun since the other farm is a huge tourist type place.
These raspberries are destined for the freezer for use later in the year.
Just loved this view on the way back out. Heading back out through the apple trees.
