When we arrived, Graham loved meeting the resident cat named Squeak. She was very friendly and let Graham hug her, pet her, and pull her tail:
After picking out a bucket and two collection tools, we headed into the orchard. Graham had to be reminded several times to keep his apricot picker pointed up:
We were encouraged to do lots of sampling along the way to help us determine which trees produced the fruit that was to our liking:
When we found a tree we liked, we started picking. Graham used his tool, Mommy’s tool, and ultimately was most successful using his hands on the low hanging branches:
Yum, tastes good, let’s take some of these home:
Eventually, I needed to take a rest, so we relaxed on some benches that were shaded by grape vines. Graham was content sitting with me, until Squeak came for a visit. Graham jumped off the bench and had a great time playing with Squeak until we were ready to head out:
Thanks Vincent Farm, we will be back next year!
