Picking Cherries
One of Greg's greatest loves at Green Bluff (not counting his wifey by his side) are the pie cherries. We've missed them some years, so it was a blessing when our spur of the moment trip found them ripe for the picking. We went to Cherry Hill, very appropriately named, #25 on this map. If you forget to bring cash (like we did), you can get some at #6 Harvest House. It's a great place to stop for browsing their cute little gift shop, purchasing fresh-from-the-farm produce, or grabbing a bite to eat. Same place I broke my camera, BTW, but I don't hold that against them! =)

Green Bluff
The lovely drive to Green Bluff is always worth it, no matter how short the stay. This trip we only had time to buy a snack before heading home, but the frozen cider was enjoyed for days. Wow! - that is one PERFECT drink for hot weather!! TOTALLY hits the spot! Greg said his blueberry pie was the best ever, and my doughnut was yummy with the cider. Kylen opted to skip having something, preferring a coffee drink on the way home. Greg kindly shared a few bites of pie with him.
The last shot is the one that broke my camera! I dropped it on the cement, which caused it to jam. They said fixing it could take three weeks, but it came back fairly quickly. Greg chastised me for rarely using the strap while taking pictures. (I always use it while walking around in between shots.) I told him I'll be better about that. No matter the problem, they charge a minimum $150 fee, so nope! That shot was not worth breaking the camera!

Beach in a Bottle

Tip: test experimental items in the water before adding the oil to make sure you like how they look. One of my shells floated on the water instead of sinking, which was annoying. Once the oil is added, you don't want to pour anything out or things get very messy.

Library LEGO Classes
I never pictured myself doing a big photo shoot with a LEGO model, but here you have it. In my mind, any project Greg devotes half the summer to deserves decent pictures, especially if it looks all super cool techy with wires sticking out and stuff.
He's taught five classes at local libraries, including two on this tic tac toe robot. Kylen and I don't share the same level of enthusiasm for Mindstorms, but I have to admit this one is pretty neat! Plus, it makes Hubby happy, which makes me happy! For those interested in more details, here's a link to Greg's LEGO blog.
