Apple Orchard

Last week we went to a local apple orchard. We learned about apples, apple trees, apple cider, bees, pollination, and had a glorious time!

the bees-we didn't get too close despite LOTS of curiosity. She's decided she wants to be a bumble bee for Halloween (until she finds the PBK catalog and spots the cupcake costume again.)

Picking our apple. We've had 12-13 inches of rain in the past several weeks. It's played havoc with the apple crop and we were asked to pick only 1 apple, and they were all the quality you see here!

And last but not least, the pumpkins, scarecrows, and hay bales. Yes, we got in trouble for climbing all over, but it was totally worth it as the girl was safe and had a BLAST!

We did the same orchard with Alyssa’s class last week. We didn’t even get to pick apples, and we knocked all the pumpkins off the back of that hay stack trying to take a class picture. We probably ruined it for every other kid wanting to take pictures. The big guy was very upset with us.

It was fun running into you there. And that man was very cranky and not all that kind…the kids still had fun
