Apple Orchard

Today we spent a super fun morning at the Fall Harvest Apple Orchard! The orchard has new owners who just took over at the end of May. They were lovely people! The kids got to check out and feed some animals, play on the mound of hay and mound of tractor tires (sorry they are coming home dirtier!) and take a wagon ride through the orchards to learn about growing and picking apples. We also learned about corn, saw pumpkins and learned about black walnuts on our tractor ride. We then ate lunch with a bunch of bees! No one got stung! Your child was given an apple, gourd, and coloring book from the apple orchard.

 Taste testing apples...

When we came back, we taste tested red, yellow and green apples to see which we like best. Can you guess the most favorite one from our class? Check out the last picture above!
