Cherry-Picking fun!

The other day we went to our friends' house to pick cherries. They have three huge cherry trees in their side yard and all of them were super encumbered with berries. The birds had started eating them, so Noelle wanted to get some before the birds got them all. The kids had a great time picking and eating all the cherries they could handle. They both climbed up in the trees (true to form, Ryker almost fell) and monkeyed around trying to get the riper cherries at the top. Then they had a cherry fight with the dads while the moms were looking up jam recipes. We made jam and fruit leathers that night and they both turned out GREAT!

Raelin will run through sprinklers anytime she can. She's a fish! We went to a really cool water park in Provo a few weeks ago (can't beat $3/person, and Ryker's free for another year!) and she cried and cried when it was time to go. Proof that she's got some Lawler in her somewhere.
