We went cherry picking up in Leona Valley at Big John's Orchard. It was pretty hot and the girls only lasted about 30 minutes, but it really doesn't take that long to pick a bunch of cherries... it ended up being plenty of time.
Abby's cherries had a hard time finding their way into the bucket... she really like the whole picking and eating idea.
After cherry picking we stopped by Lazy T Ranch with high hopes to pet and maybe even ride some horses. I guess on normal non-holiday days they have little ponies for the kids to ride and trail rides everyday around 4pm, but being the 4th of July it sounded like most of the horses were out at the parade and other events going on in town.
Ben smelled like cherries and this little one was looking for a treat!
There of course was barbecue for dinner, as well as the pitting of mass amounts of cherries for freezer jam and mini cherry pies. Then a trip to the park to watch the fireworks. I think we'll have to go pick cherries every year... I miss having my fridge filled with their sweet yummy goodness!
