My goodness weren't we busy!
Day started with this:
And I thought - why not?
We started with going to Honey Bear Orchard to pick sweet cherries. Except when we got there, we saw that, by some miracle, they still have strawberries for picking. I was so upset we did not get to go this season due to different conflicts and here it was! I was beyond happy :) Some strawberries were.. how simply put it..mutant, for the lack of right word :) How about that? Two on the right bottom are my fav :)
Here is the start :)

Next, we got to picking sweet cherries. It was only the 2nd and final day, so cherries were really scattered all over the place. Kids' most favorite activity was to find them by climbing the trees. I guess, it counts too :)
Lots of cherries overheard. Can even see Brandon's loose tooth on top left
My favorite monkey
Oh, Momma was not bored either :) why bother put cherries in the bucket? :)
Next on our list was ice cream in Jigger Shop, first for the year, yay! Kyra had her fav chocolate and I had espresso mint with pecan butter. Both were soooo delicious! Brandon did not want at first, but looking at us changed his mind and settled on vanilla :)
This day we had to do a short hike because of Kyra's later appt. We wanted to go to Governor Dick's tower but we did not have all the time in the world, so we did very short Dinosaur Rock.
Where we parked, there were many boulders around. Kyra got on one trying to pose and Brandon was jumping from one to another like a kangaroo. I told him either get off the picture or get it. Here what I got:
Love this photo of both. So naughty looking!
We tried for serious, as you see, he was not in the mood.
We tried again. He was the one who got away :)
Finally. Settled :)
Wait, he is playing with camera again, where is Kyra in the picture?
Okay, NOW he settled for somewhat decent picture of the girls.
Walk to the rock was so short. Reminded us about trip to Boxcar Rocks last year. We leaped from one to another, short enough to stop to pose. Yes, just like this guy :)
Dinosaur Rock can be seen behind Kyra. When we were leaping to it, we saw another family being on it, so there was a way to get on. but I needed help bigger person than 9 year old :)
What else do you do on a hike? OF COURSE, you do gymnastics!! Caught in the action.
Then... As we walked to this big pile of rocks and I started climbing... some bad creature stung me. Oooohh that hurt! Badly! I wanted to scream. Later, when I got home and googled images, looked like I was stung by a yellow jacket. Well, that was not nice!
Kyra said: "It was still fun!"
We got home in time for a snack and headed to her bone dr. appt. Lucky for her, dr had family emergency and had to cancel all his appts but they called only our home number and after we left, so we did not get a message.
On the way home we stopped at Karns to get some yummies and oh boy.. weren't those two arguing. About who pushes the cart, who looks for an item, who is putting it in the cart. By the end of our trip I wanted to scream again from being put in the middle. We managed to get out of the store soon enough.
Brandon and I played Frisbee before supper, it was so fun! And at night kids caught some lightning bugs. Looks like a good heck of a day :)
