Nate, Finley and I spent 2 1/2 weeks in Michigan this summer introducing Finley to his dad's side of the family. We had enjoyed family dinners, walks, a few trips to the lakes, cherry picking, wine tasting, and plenty of other things that I'm too sleep deprived to remember right now (it was a long night last night).

How do you wear this thing?

The trees were full of cherries!

Collecting lots of cherries (which we pitted ourselves, one at a time) for our cherry crisp...only 50 cents a pound!


Walking through the rows of cherry trees

Washing the cherries at the farm

Finley at Crystal Lake, coated in tons of sunscreen. Maybe next year he'll be running into the water instead of sleeping!
