VALENTINE'S DAY: Picking Sicilian Blood Oranges.

Today we did something I have been wanting to do since we arrived. 
We went to go and Pick Blood Oranges.

Ralph, Sebastian, Marcello, Finnegan and I joined a group of people to go on a beautiful (but Chilly) day to a locals farm. Emilio and Mariska are locals that allowed us to pick their oranges and enjoy an typical Sicilian lunch with them. They are also the ones I buy my local fresh pressed olive oil from.



Marcello was a little crabby while picking Oranges.  Here is a photo of Marcello and Ralph.



Seb had a great time running around picking the Oranges off the trees with Friends.

After we filled our bag of Oranges, we followed them up the road to an open field for the kids to run wild. This is a great place to have an picnic with the kids on a warm sunny day. Lots of room to run and cool caves for them to explore.



I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A VERY HAPPY VALENTINES DAY !!!!!!
