Bings and Goldens

June in Emmett, ID means cherries! We traveled the 20 miles north so we could have cherries to our hearts content. There are quite a few u-pick orchards and we found one that we liked and had cherries where we didn't have to walk back through the trees too far getting more cherries smashed on the bottoms of our shoes. We got lots of bings and quite a few goldens as well. My personal favorite were the goldens this year as they don't make the mess that bings do and they were also sweeter. We had fun picking one weekend with just us, and then the next weekend Ryan's Mom Patty and his brother Mike came and we loaded up some more. Ryan had to work and so he isn't in these pics. We have made cherry pie and a few other recipes with cherries and just enjoyed eating the rest.

I'm pretty sure she ate more than she put in the bucket!
Also on this trip we were going to visit the old ghost town of Pearl, ID. We got on the old gravel road and read a mileage sign that said Pearl was only 9 miles. It was fun driving and feeling like I was up on my Grandpa's ranch in SE Idaho. Well we drove some, and then some more and when we reached our 9 miles and a little more there was no ghost town in sight. It was nap time and hot and we were all tired so decided to turn around and head for home.

Where's Pearl?

As we were driving this deer was in the middle of the road. It ran off quickly but not before Mike was able to get it on camera
