We headed out to Ray French Orchard again this year - this time to pick Benton Cherries, which apparently ripen earlier than the Rainier. The trees were bursting with ripe cherries on this, the first day of picking.
The kids had a blast picking the cherries - Olivia ate most of what she picked, and ended up making a huge mess out of herself, as she was using her fingers to pick the pit out before she ate them.
Noah really LOVED this, and it was hard to get him to stop picking.
He's usually the one that asks me over and over why we are doing an outing, and when it's going to be over, and if we can go home every other minute. But for cherry picking, he kept exclaiming how much fun he was having, and how he didn't ever want to leave.
Harrison was running around trying to make sure everyone was picking the best, most ripe cherries. Here's him explaining what you should (left side) and should not (right side) pick.
Levi spent the whole outing asleep in the bjorn.
Some of my fondest childhood memories involved picking fruits and vegetables with my family, so I'm glad we are able to enjoy that with our family too.

You must have a great camera! Those are great pictures. I love this time of year too, when the gardens are growing and it's u-pick time. Can't wait to pick peaches and pears for canning!
