child labor

I watched a news documentary recently on child labor in America and how legally your child can work (meaning get paid) on a farm at age 12, but that there are migrant workers all over the country who bring their children along to work with them long before age 12 and how it is illegal. Good thing we didn't pay ours right?

G was up early to help Nana with the peas.

Then it was time for tomatoes.


B joined them for the tomatoes and had a few melt downs about some pesky wasps, but he was a good helper too.

love those chubby little hands

they were pretty proud when they found some big ones

we almost lost B ... not really he just had to get all the way down to get the cherry tomatoes

then E joined the fun ... she had a great time

G took a break to drive the tractor

E almost got lost too :)

so proud of her find

not happy she had to put them in the bowl

then B saw G and took a break too

look at all those tomatoes ...
Nana picked most of them
but they happily took the credit :)
