So,
The day after Zs party the spoil me rottens were still in town so we decided to head out to the bucolic Leona valley to participate in some good old family fun in the form of fighting off busloads of asian toursits for cherries.
Once a year the small valley 30 minutes from our house has a cherry festival and then everyone goes out and picks the ripe delicious red fruit. This season was odd because the festival was 2 weekends ago but none of the cherries were ready yet. A lot of the farms opened up for business this last weekend. We showed up bright and early ready to pick.
Papa spoil me rotten was especially enamored with the festivities and they picked almost 5 pounds of the stuff to bring home. We made a healthy haul as you will see and had a great time.

| Look at those bright red cherries. |
 |
| Picking commenced. |
 |
| Quite the pickers as you can see. |
 |
| Then temptation set in... |
 |
Sometimes temptations gets the best of even the best of us...

Mama wanted some shots of the beautiful birthday girl!

| I was there too. |

| Papa and A showing off the sweet fruit. |
 |
| There was a herder and his dog there putting on a bit of a show and the kids loved watching that. |
 |
Then the dog came over and immediately made us pet him. The kids were thrilled.
It was a great trip and we've got cherries coming out of our ears.
Till next time- pick em dark red or purple and leave the stems please.

Beautiful photos Ryan and a beautiful family. Looks like fun.
Cool! If this were any other type of fruit, I'd be jealous. I like the pics, too.
