One of our very favorite family traditions is taking the kids down to Emmett to pick fresh cherries right off the trees. There is nothing quite like fresh air and fresh fruit to put a smile right on kid's faces.
Look at the miles and miles of cherry trees...ripe for the picking!
Once we were in the orchard, Brinley took a special liking to Jeff, one of Ben's sales guys.
The lower branches had been picked dry, so the kids had to get a little help to get the good ones!
These dads were super-serious about getting the very best cherries. They just had to be a bit creative to get the high ones.
Do those look like professional cherry pickers or what? Look at that loot...and look at those faces!
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy to my Tummy, Tummy Tummy :)
What cherry picking experiance would be complete without a seed spitting competion?
Of all the fierce competetors, I think we were all the most impressed by Jeff's wife, Ali.
It was a good day!

Hooray for cherry picking days! Jake looks happy as can be and Brinley looks like she's grown so much. I'm ready to see you guys. Thanks for the pics.
That looks like so much fun. I hear about it on the radio every year, but never have been. But your pictures make me want to go. Next year we'll have to try it out. Fun party the other night. Hopefully you got some great things for your baby.
