Picking Oranges!

Every time we went over to my Grandparents and it was a clear day, My Grandpa would always take us down to go and pick oranges off the tree. And if it was the perfect time we would also be able to pick plums, pears, tangerines, and one other fruit but I cant remember what they are callled! It was such a fun thing to do with Grandpa, I knew everytime I would go over there I would be able to go in the yard and pick some fruit. The funny thing is before we even got there, Grandpa and Grandma would already have a box set out for us to take home! I am shocked none of my family had a Vitamin C over dose! I loved going out in the yard. When you walk out their front door there yard was like a U shape around the house and so you walk out and then you get to run.. down the hill and there were all the trees just waiting to be picked. Your hands would smell like oranges the rest of the day! We would always come pack in wash them and then pick the best one to eat and sit down and share it but it normally turned into 3-4 oranges! This yard was so big and full of trees and boy did lots of things get caught in them! I miss going out in the yard with Grandpa and Grandma, Grandpa would always walk me down and grandma would always fallow us waddleing her way down slowly!! Or she would still be in the house watching Oprah!! Love it!! Memories are the best, I can smell my grandparets yard now!
