Tomato Harvesting

Zac and Taylor came to spend the day while Katie and Mark attended a sealing at the Draper temple and a luncheon afterwards.  Today was a beautiful, warm summer day so Kevin and Zac ventured into the garden to harvest the tomatoes which were there in abundance.
After some basic "grandfatherly" instruction about picking the red ones and not tossing or dropping them, but gently putting them in the basket, Zac began to help harvest the tomato crop!
What a great helper!
Zac in the garden.
Many of the plants were taller than he is!  It was fun to watch him carefully pick his way through the forest of tomato plants in search of a red tomato.  He even helped pick the green peppers and the cabbages.
Analyzing his first picked pepper.
"I did it!" he would exclaim as he placed his harvest carefully in the basket!
His victory pose!
 The head of cabbage is larger than Zac's head and probably weighed close to 5 lbs. 
Just call him "Farmer Zac"!
