CHERRY PICKERS OF 2008

The cherry tree is ripe and ready to pick.





Matt decided he was a good climber. He is climbing the fruit ladder. A fruit ladder is different than a regular ladder. It only has one leg on the other side. So it's not the same climbing. He made us nervous... He's only 2 =)



Ady is not the most confident high up anything. I don't want to label her afraid of heights, but she is very close to qualifying for that one... She didn't give up or stop trying...but she wasn't very secure climbing high in the tree.

















My sister, Pat and brother in law, Phil Pryde, came in from Sacramento, CA for the 4th of July weekend. He thought she was a very good model for his photo shoot in our backyard... He really got some good pictures too.



















Matt wasn't to thrilled having to stop picking
cherries to smile for the stranger behind the camera...









They must have picked a good 10 pounds of sweet ripe cherries...



Did they have surprises in their diapers, Holly?


I am sure, most of the fruit didn't make it in the bowl...









Adylin on the other hand is a "ham"... and would stop just longer enough to say "cheese" then go back to picking.


















They loved helping and eating and climbing... Stopping when gramma was done wasn't what they had in mind.
But I took the ladder down and only Tanner could climb the tree.


I was replacing sprinkler heads with Mike in the yard and wasn't dressed for pictures...
I was not built for a hat either...
Oh well...
Enjoy!!!
We did!!! The apricot tree is starting to turn...so in a little while they will be pickin' those too :)
Yummy
