Cherries!

After our visit with Jon we decided that we were gonna go cherry picking.  I am terrible at when fruits are in season because we missed strawberries already.  I think that they should be later in the summer than they are, but they are always at the end of May!  Shoot... ohh well.  But, we thought that we would give cherry picking a try and the kids loved it!






















We got the kids their own buckets and we set Dude and Lucy up on some ladders and they went to town!  We picked mostly sweet cherries but got a few tart so that I could make Dad a pie.  The place were we picked had a little farmers market stand in the front, and goodies and treats you could purchase too.  It was a hit day so we got them this lemonade and cider slushy.  It was really good!  And refreshing!  We picked a ton of cherries which I made into jam from the sweet and then a pie from the tart.  Since it was such a good experience and the kids like the goodies made from the cherries i might have to invest in a pitter :)
