You pick lunch

While the boys’ speaking vocabulary is under a hundred words, they understand a great deal more than that. During our hay ride at Reid’s Orchard we stopped so the children could pick an apple directly off the tree. While getting off the wagon, we explained what we were going to do in the briefest of terms. Once on the ground, they ran into the orchard evaluating trees until they found one they liked. Then without prompting, they each picked an apple and headed back to us for the return hay ride. Perhaps it was by instinct, but each picked apples like they had done so all their lives.
