Cherry Picking

Yesterday, we back into Pennsylvania to go to an orchard. We got to pick our own cherries.I had never actually seen a cherry tree and I assume they must get bigger because why else would those scaffold trucks that  electricians use be called Cherry Pickers? We took a hay ride (aka pick up truck bed with hay on it) to the Cherry fields and because we were there so early...and on a Wednesday, we got the whole field to ourselves!









The orchard also had a playground and and barn animals to feed, so Margot had a blast there! They have different fruits and veggies that you can pick yourself all summer long so I have a feeling the Crabtrees will be going there quite often.




Margot had been talking the whole time on the drive up about petting a cow. we weren't sure there was going to be one at the orchard but we were in luck. Margot mooed at it several times and was tickled when it finally mooed back (much deeper than expected).

Thank you for sharing all of this. You are so much better about having photos than we are. Sounds like a good time was/is being had by all. Margot is at a great age, and at a great age to be the aunt, rather than the mom!

Great posts. Great pictures. Moo cows can be kind of scary for little ones. At least they're real and not "characters".
