Yesterday we checked in to a RV park that is in an orange grove in Bakersfield. As soon as we checked in we went and picked up an orange picker and took Misty for a walk in the grove…

We soon figured out that it is better to get an orange picker early in the morning because our picker didn’t have any prongs on it to grab the oranges with. The next morning Nathan picked up a picker with prongs and we went back out today as well to pick more oranges. Here is a picture of Nathan grabbing an orange…

We had a system going that the kids found the oranges, Nathan picked them out of the trees, and Joshua caught them…

Or DIDN’T catch them as is the case for that orange. :)

When one of the oranges fell on the other side of the fence, Timmy decided to see if he could find a way to get it…

We told him to leave it on the other side and not worry about it. Here are all of the kids posing with their treasures…

And one last picture of Samantha today…

Tomorrow we check out and head to Desert Hot Springs for the week.
