After that last ride with my dad up Yellowfork I took the kids back up to pick choke cherries. When we were coming down the mountain he told me of the 100's of hours that his mom spent in her lifetime picking and making choke cherry jam. He said that it was his favorite jam of all time and loved to put it on pancakes. That story really touched me... esp because my dad isnt know for liking pancakes much.
We had SOOO much fun hunting for the berries. So excited to see a bunch of wild turkeys on the way up!
I packed us a picnic lunch and we found a great thicket to sit in and eat our lunch per the kids request.
It was a great day!
