For some random reason, my employer designated the Friday before the 4th of July as a holiday. I decided to embrace the day off and take the boys cherry picking. Mom and Dad came along for the adventure. 🙂

Lots o’ cherries:

Low hanging cherry tree branches were handy for allowing Ian and Matthew to pick fruit without assistance. Not so handy when passing underneath and you bonk your head.

Based upon the fact that they’re leaning and the sign isn’t flush with the ground, I’m going to say Ian is definitely over 4′ tall:

(The slide behind Matthew is where Ian broke his finger back in September.)
