On day 3 we visited
Puddicombe Farms in Hamilton, Ontario. It was my niece Emma's idea to go cherry picking and what a great idea it was! The farm is over 210 years old and gives visitors a chance to pick their own fruits from their vast orchards. And that's just what we did!

Pears. Almost ripe! |
After the cherry picking, we went for a train ride in the cutest little train called Little Pudd {how cute is that!}. The ride took us through the orchards, grape vineyards and beautiful waterways.
