Madelynne's first field trip of the year was to one of the local fruit farms. Jackson and I got to go too! It was pouring down rain on the day of the field trip so the children did not get to pick their own apples, but they got to see other things around the farm. |
First, the farmer, Mr. Eddy, showed the children around the farm shop. They discovered different gourds and fresh produce as well as apple cider and delicious looking homemade pastries.
Then, the children got to see how the apples are sorted with this huge piece of machinery.
Madelynne was completely enthralled with the sorting machine.
After that the children got to see what was behind this door. A. great. BIG. refrigerator. Farmers have the biggest 'frigs ever! (from the book of Madelynne anyway)
There were plenty of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes.
Mr. Eddy demonstrated how the fork lift works and how it helps the farmer move things around on the farm.
Time for a story with Johnny Appleseed.
Jackson did not want to be confined to his stroller and was bribed with Starbursts to stay in his stroller and not escape into the orchard on an adventure of his own.
Apples are good-licious and even better when they are free!
We bought some apples to take home and bottled our own apple pie filling. Yummy!
