After convincing AJ that it was more fun to pull the apples off of the tree, rather then picking up the smooshed ones from the ground, he became quite the little helper!
He would place each apple in Grandma's bag (I don't think he put one apple into his mom's bag), and, being the big, strong boy he is, would carry the bag to the next tree.
He had to give those apples quite a tug, and the force of them coming off the tree usually caused AJ to drop them. However, the one he picked always made it to Grandma's bag.
AJ tried with all his might to carry the overflowing bags, and got so discouraged when he couldn't lift 16 pounds of apples, that we had to fill a grocery bag with a few apples from the ground, so he could help us carry the apples back to the car. He even loaded his bag of apples into the trunk (which we promptly tossed once he was in his carseat). What a fun time!
