I know I've done several food-focused posts in a row and this will be the last one for a little while - honest. Probably.
On the wonderful advice of a friend, we went cherry picking and this great U-pick orchard only an hour away. There were plenty of branches low enough for Little Mr. to reach all by himself - which made him very happy.
We'd read some reviews on the place on yelp before going, so we came armed with our own buckets - which meant we didn't have to wait for another family to come back from their cherry picking madness before starting our own.
So off we went. Rows and rows of cherries - Rainier, Bing, Van...mmmmm
Then, of course, there was the eating of cherries. In general they're pretty great just as they are but who can resist....
or this...
yea... me neither
apparently I also can't seem to resist adding almonds to yummy baked cherry desserts.
