Did you ever pick an apple from a tree?

We got the four wheelers out and were taking the kids for rides around the field and through the orchard. I let them all stop and pick an apple along the way.
Out of 10 kids aged 6-12, none had ever picked an apple. Mind you, this is not L.A. or NYC, it's a rural community around a city of 10,000.
How many of you have ever picked an apple off the tree?

these same kids have probably never seen a cow in real life either.

OMFG yesterday i saw the cutest little calf evar. it was with it's mom in the pasture and it's legs were still unsteady and everything, or so it seemed. the white was so much whiter than the mom's white, and the black spots were blacker. i wish i could have taken some pics. we need digital cameras built into our eyes, stat. more pics.

our eyes are digital cameras. no slot for memory cards or a usb/firewire connection though.

aside from the replicator and the holodeck, this would be right up there with my top "wishlist" inventions.

Yep. We have apple trees and a few grapvines in our back yard. We used to have a couple peach trees but we took them out.
