Last week Donna suggested we take the kids cherry picking at Kelley Orchard near Filer. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a blast filling their own baskets. It is so nice they have a few pick-your-own-produce farms around here. Hopefully we will go back later this summer for other fresh fruits!

Donna's response to me warning everyone I would be obnoxious with my photo taking

Ryan was sweet and held our friend Hugh for me while I watched the girls pick their cherries

And, of course, Cherry Pie!

Our best pie effort to date. We went all out and put in a little grenadine, in addition to the almond extract that gives it its signature flavor. We also brushed the crust with milk before baking, which I don't usually do. Yummy, flaky goodness! Makes me miss my Grandma Marj and her perfect pies.
