More fruit picking! This time? Blueberries, raspberries, and cherries! Abby, Jen and I took our kids out to Fennville to stock up on the seasonal fruit. The kids had a great time picking blueberries, but the raspberries were a lot more time consuming and more difficult. Nolan and Lydia gave up very quickly on those! We thought we were done, but Abby and I asked if there were any farms close by with cherries. We were lucky to catch the farm in South Haven in the last week of the season and picked 11 pounds each with the help of the kids. I think cherry picking was the kids' favorite. They were everywhere and came off the tree so easily. And they were delicious!!!
