emmitt knows how to party

we went to emmitt today to visit their cherry festival. we've been there for apple picking in the fall, but never for cherry season. we didn't actually pick any cherries, but did consume them and rode carnival rides in there honor.

we went with some new friends from california, garrett and johnna, who visited our church last sunday. they have an 8 year old, julia, and a 4 year old, james. here they are enjoying a little wind in their hair...

love this one...


this was soooo cool. eli waiting for a turn...

getting in and blowing it up...

living a hamsters life...and lovin' it.

such fun!

  1. Katie~ We are so thankful we met you and your family last Sunday at church! Our children had a great time on the "roller coaster" today:) We hope to see you again soon, either in CA or back here in ID. Take care.

  2. Eurobobbles. Genius!
    I have been wanting to go to the cherry festival for about 10 years. Something has always come up during this week, so we are going on Saturday morning. We shall party with the Emmettites then and consume mass amounts of cherries.
    And, I want to meet Garrett and Johnna, too!

  3. Keri~ We would love to meet you and your family too. It will have to be next time as we are back on the road early in the morning and headed for Oregon.

  4. Ah fun! Brian said he saw the Euroballs in New Brunswick on the Reversing Falls. The girls would love that. I'm with Keri in that we have never been to the Emmett Cherry Festival, but might have to scramble for a last minute trip. I think you've sold me, Katie! And as for you, Johnna, I wish I could have met you last week at church! I see that you homeschool using the Charlotte Mason method. It would have been wonderful to chat with you. Blessings as you go back on the road! :o)

  5. I don't know about the Eurobobbles! I'm claustrophobic and have water issues! I'd be doomed! Looks like the kids had an awesome time though! We are going to the cherry festival tonight and that will be a first for us. Looking forward to it.

  6. J~ Yes, it would have been nice to chat CM with you. I'm sure we will meet in the future as we just purchased land when we were in Idaho. Until then we have the blog world and Katie to keep in touch. Blessings to you!
