At least the apples are still straight
I'm pretty sure climbing is frowned upon at Rileys Farm. Being lifted by your tall friend, though, not sure. Out on the orchard, the rules are un-written. We filled two bags of apples using whatever methods we could employ: climbing, jumping, hoisting -- Jeff even found a long branch for those delicious but hard to reach apples. When we got home, crisps and muffins were made, as was vanilla bean ice cream for our a la mode purposes.
Almost as prominent as the apples on Rileys Farm were the "Yes on Prop 8" signs (Prop 8 seeks to ban gay marriage in California). Apparently this sentiment covers animals too. We saw 1 male goat mount another in the animal den, and the bonnetted woman with the unfortunate job of herding the goats for our amusement chastised the mounter: "What're you doing? That is a MAN!"
