Cherry Season 2011

Friday, July 1st, was opening day of U-pick cherry season at Tyler's Orchard in Emmett. You can bet that my family was there bright and early. After a long, cold spring the cherries were finally ripe!! The branches were HEAVY with the beautiful fruit. We spent 1.5 hours and $14 filling our buckets to the brim. Susie and Annie met us there and took home even more cherries than we did.

Marc says that in his next lifetime he would like to be a cherry orchard farmer. :)

These two ate about as many cherries as they put into their buckets. I still think that the good people who run the scales need to weigh their customers before and after they go out into the orchard.

Time for a pit-stop! (Pun most certainly intended.)
