part 5...the part where jackson eats the profits...

daddy's aunt and uncle own a cherry orchard on flathead lake in montana...and when we got there, cherry picking had just started, so we got to help and eat and help...but mostly eat...

sunset vista cherries...aren't they BEAUTIFUL?!!


 jackson eating sunset vista cherries...



aunt lynn and uncle bruce were very generous and let you eat as many as your little hands could stuff in your mouth...they would have made a killing if they'd charged us per pound consumed.  mommy worried about all of the seeds you were eating...she soon discovered that her worries were unnecessary...everything came out just fine.  :-)

"TRUCK, TRUCK, TRUCK!!!"  when you heard the four-wheeler start, you would run your little self over to make sure you got to ride.  SO. FUN.


little zoey, you were just happy to be near the action...


daddy spent some time picking cherries...NOT an easy job...he was determined to get all of the one kind of cherries mommy liked.  (can't remember what they were called, but they were the yellow and red ones...YUM!!!)



we spent our evenings in the back yard...eating dinner, throwing the balls for the dogs, wrestling on the grass, roasting marshmallows for smores...


you found some kitty friends...


lucy found some doggy friends and proceeded to be the boss of the balls...



after picking, aunt lynn took us down to the water...we found some SUPER cool rocks and you went swimming in the FREEZING cold water and would not get out even though your teeth were chattering...LOVE.THE.WATER.


over exposed picture...but still cute...


BEAUTIFUL!!!


up next...the hikes...

Pretty sure those are Rainier cherries - my favorite too! So glad you all got to spend some time in such a beautiful place!! Uh, even if it did take 28 hours and some crazy to get there.
