Orchard Assignment

We spent yesterday evening at the church orchard. Our ward has been assigned a row of apricot trees so we went to thin them out. I knew nothing about thinning apricots so it was fun to learn. Sadly, frost hit the trees this year so alot of the apricots fell off. The kids ran around playing in the dirt and mud, fighting with sticks and throwing the green apricots at each other and us while we thinned and dropped (maybe threw) the green apricots at them! You should have seen my filthy kids! We get orchard assignments instead of cannery assignments and honestly I think they're more fun. =)
