Apricots!!

We have a lady in our ward with an apricot tree and she allowed us to come get some. Sara and I headed down, her kids helped for a minute but then had a karate class in Parowan so it was just Sara, me, Dani and Charleene. Dani was actually a huge help at first. She would let me hand her all the ones that I was gleaning off the ground {most were still pretty good} and she would walk them over to the basket and set them in so gently. Well, she's 2 and she doesn't watch where she steps so on her back and forth treks she squished her fair amount of apricots. She didn't mind at first {probably because she didn't notice} but man as soon as she realized they were there - She LOST HER MIND! This kid does not like to be dirty!
Sara had a great idea to give her some wipes and let her clean up the apricots herself. She thought that was a GREAT idea! It was so cute!
We ended up with a good amount of apricots and were really grateful that we were able to share in the surplus!
Charleene mostly just slept... ; )
 And she was DONE! Once she realized she couldn't get all the apricots off {She even sat in them so there were some on her skirt and she was freaking out!} She's so cute when she does though!
When we got home we got her all cleaned up and she helped me get them all arranged on the trays so that we could dehydrate them. SO YUMMY!
