Summer Vacation - Oregon part 3

Cherry pickin' and the River were a blast. First Tina and Kaleigh and I went Cherry picking. We got there early enough and scoped out the trees, trying to find ones with cherries on the lower branches but we didn't really find any so we started moving a ladder around to get the higher ones. We picked about a bowl and a half or so and then decided to go since the weather was getting warmer. Just on a fluke we decided to drive around the far side of the trees and low and behold the farthest corner of the grove or whatever were a few trees that were pretty loaded. We got out and in five minutes pretty much gathered the second half of the second bowl. Took a lot less time and we got a lot of good cherries. Yum! Later, we decided to cool off at the river and enjoy the sunshine without the heat! The river was cool and the beach not too crowded. The kids enjoyed making a rocky home with Trevor for a crawfish and they splashed and stuff, then took a little time to go up to the park for a bit of fun up there. All in all it was a lovely time.
