Grape picking....our slice of Italy in Michigan.

We had beautiful weather her this weekend. We thought we should take advantage of it and go find something to do outdoors on Sunday. I wanted to go Apple picking, but we couldn't find any where that wasn't already done for the season or super expensive.

I called Lemon Creek....one of my favorite winery's here in the area because they have apple picking....well the apple picking was over but we could pick Grapes and Rasberries. So we thought, heck, lets try it. Amelia LOVED it! And so did we. It was a blast. They take you for a little wagon ride back into the field and drop you off with your baskets. You pick until your hearts desire. It's was 60 cents her pound. So super cheep. We really didn't need a ton, because we wern't going to make wine or jam like others, so we just picked enough to eat. We only spent $1.42 and had an awesome time! Here are a few pictures from out adventure!

Here we are waiting for the tractor to take us to the vineyard.
Norah on the wagon. She wasn't feeling the best, but still had fun.
Amelia is ready with her basket.

Amelia loved running though the vineyard.
We took a walk though the apple trees too. Amelia eating her grapes while we walked.
Taking a break, it was a warm day, so we were resting in the shade.

Here are some of the grapes....Yum, Yum!

Our little bunch we picked. Some people left with Numerous FULL baskets!
Just a dusty shot of the vineyard.

We had so much fun. If you are able to do something like this in your area....do it! The kids loved it and it was so fun to get out and walk around.

Here is a link to the Vineyard we went to.
