LAZY JULY

The kids and I went to a local farm to pick tart cherries earlier in July.  It was a VERY hot day but luckily, after the picking, we were able to sit on rocking chairs on the covered porch of the barn and enjoy a picnic.  We saw chickens, donkeys, turkeys, sheep, and a goat.  Upon return, the kids helped me de-pit every cherry with our cherry pitting contraption.  It was really fun.  Can't wait to make the pies.... 
Also attached some pictures os us just having some fun.... I found some walking sticks for the sticks so we could add a prop to our usual trail hikes, but they were apparently not ready for them.  Both ended up hurting themselves and I, of course, felt like Mother of the Year for offering them. Anyhoo, it's been a fun summer with GREAT weather and lots of down time.
