Orange picking

While we were in Florida, we had the pleasure of picking a variety of citrus fruits. Daddy's co-worker, Max, has a large assortment of trees. We picked and tasted some of them all. He had pomellos, grapefruit, limes, tangerines, naval oranges, and amber sweet oranges. The amber sweet oranges were the best! We picked about three huge bags of oranges! The freshly squeezed juice was FANTASTIC! It is unlike any orange juice you buy at the store. It was quite sweet and not as acidic as what you buy in the grocery store. I generally get heartburn when I drink orange juice, but I have been guzzling this stuff with no heartburn!

Max was truly generous to share so much of his fruit with us. It was a wonderful experience to see so many beautiful fruit bearing trees. I am so thankful that we had the opportunity to go there.
