Jersey Girl

The last batch of pictures from a very fun visit to see the whole family in New Jersey. We didn’t know it at the time, but Ce was getting sick and wasn’t her usual picking machine self out in the cherry orchard. She still managed to put away a good number and this year she understood the whole pit in the middle concept.

Cherry, Cherry

Cecilia likes fruit. I mean really likes it. To the point where the mere mention of strawberries or watermelon sends her into paroxysms of joy like she’s at an old time tent revival meeting. So after the success of strawberry picking a few weeks ago, Papa was eager to take her out to his local fields for some cherry picking. She took to it like an Italian to water ice. See for yourself.

(Ed. note: Momma would like to note that we are all wearing our pickin’ clothes not our Sunday finery and furthermore HD video cameras are the devil’s instrument and do no one any favors.)

Pick Your Own

We headed over to Lookout Farm to pick some strawberries today in order to give Cece a test run before she hits the fields for real with Papa in a few weeks. She was a natural at one part of the equation. I’ll let the evidence speak for itself.
