I HAD MENTIONED EMMETT'S ANNUAL CHERRY FESTIVAL EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND JEFF WAS DETERMINED TO NOT MISS THIS ADVENTURE. SO JEFF, KRISTY,BRENDA (JEFF'S MOM), JOSH AND MYSELF ALL HEADED OUT TO EMMETT.
WE STARTED OUR ADVENTURE OFF WITH SOME MUCH ENTERTAINING YARD SALEING. THEN IT WAS OFF IN SEARCH FOR A GOOD CHERRY ORCHARD. WE ENDED UP GOING TO AN ORCHARD JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN. I HAD BEEN HERE BEFORE AND NEW THE DRILL...PARK OUT BUT THE CANAL, GRAB OUR BOXES, AND CROSS THE BRIDGE TO ACRES AND ACRES OF CHERRIES.
THE DAMON'S CROSSING THE BRIDGE
ONCE INSIDE YOU COULD SELF-PICK AS MANY CHERRIES AS YOU WANTED.
JEFF STARED OUT BY TAKING PICTURES
AND PICTURES...OF KRISTY
PRETTY SURE SHE FELT LIKE THERE WAS PAPARAZZI
JOSH AND I IN THE GROVES OF CHERRIES
THE TREES WHERE LOADED
AND EVEN HAD BUTT CHEEK CHERRIES
JEFF EMPTYING HIS BOX OF CHERRIES IN THE THE ORCHARDS BUCKETS
SINCE HE JUST PICKED EVERYTHING HE SAW...HE SOON REALIZED THAT NOW ALL THE CHERRIES LOOKED GOOD
SINCE MOST PEOPLE COULD REACH THE LOWER BRANCHES ALL THE BIG CHERRIES WHERE UP TOP...CAUSING US TO PULL DOWN THE BRANCH AND PICK LIKE CRAZY...THIS TOOK A 4 MAN TEAM EFFORT
EVEN BIRDS LOVE CHERRIES
JUST WOULDN'T BE AN ADVENTURE WITHOUT A SELF-PORTRAIT
JOSH LOOKING FOR THE GOOD ONES
KRISTY WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME AND DECIDED TO HAVE A SMALL CHERRY FIGHT...
JOSH LOST...
OFF IN SEARCH FOR BETTER TREES
THEY LOOKED MORE LIKE GRAPES THEN CHERRIES
NEWLY WEDS OFF ON A STROLL
BRENDA SEEMED TO BE ENJOYING HERSELF...I'M PRETTY SURE SHE WAS JUST WAITING FOR THE PIE
THE GROUP ALL CHERRIED OUT
BEAUTIFUL EMMETT VALLEY
ONCE WE HAD PICK ALL 7LBS OF CHERRIES WE HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE IT TO THE PARADE.
SINCE IT IS JUST A SMALL TOWN EVENT MOST OF THE FLOATS AND CARS WHERE FROM THE LOCALS.
WITH CHERRY STAINED FINGERS AND SUN BURNT CHEEKS THE DAY WAS COMING TO AN END AND WE DECIDED TO SLIT WAYS AND HEAD HOME.
THANKS JEFF, KRISTY, AND BRENDA FOR A GOOFY FUN FILLED ADVENTURE!!
