Apple Picking Fun!

Today was Ethan's very first field trip with school.  I (along with most of the other parents) went along.  We went to the Okaw Valley Apple Orchard.  It was so much fun, and all the kids had a blast.  We first had a tour into the orchard.  There were no apples this year due to a hard freeze in April that killed their entire crop.  The woman giving us the tour said this was the first time in 10 years that she had to pretend she was picking an apple, while showing the kids the ladder and picking bag.  And usually the kids get to pick the apples from the trees, but this year they got to pick them out of a box.

Listening very intently :)

Each person got 4 apples and Ethan has already gobbled up one!

After all the kids got their apples, we headed back to the picnic area for some snack.  We all got apple cider slush and an apple doughnut.  YUM!

We had to bring some home for Daddy :)

Then the kids headed to the playground.

Running like a crazy kid on top of all the hay bales

Nora had fun too, but no doughnut for her...maybe next time.

The whole class! (Minus a couple, I think)
