Cherry Pitting

If you ask Auntie Kristina, Daddy's nickname is "The Original Brucie Juicey" from when they were kids and he was pitting cherries one summer.  We have a fondness for bing and Rainier cherries in this house too.  They are easy for adults to eat but not so much for kids due to the pits. Today we bought a cherry pitter.  Here is Evan having some fun putting it to good use.  Start to finish it took him 48 seconds to pit one cherry!  Adorable but not speedy...the story of his life!
