We rode the bus to the orchard...it's been a looooong time since I've been on a school bus! As soon as we got there a John Deere tractor was waiting to take us on a hayride! Carter would have loved that!
We rode through the apple orchard out to a pumpkin patch and got to walk around and pick out a pumpkin to bring home. Sydney searched far and wide and finally found the perfect one!
We came back and took a quick tour through the huge refrigerators. Then they each got a bag and got to pick out some apples to bring home! Sydney got some golden and red delicious...yummmm!
Then we trucked out in the apple orchard and learned how the bees pollinate the trees to make the apples. She showed the kids the proper way to pick an apple; thumb on the bottom, forefinger on the top, so you don't bruise it. She picked one and rubbed it on her pants and showed us how the natural wax makes apples so shiny. Each of the kids got to pick an apple off the tree to eat...they were so good!
After that, it was time for lunch then they got to play for a bit too. Sydney and her friend Caty caught up with some girls from the other class! They were all in kindergarten together last year and are in girl scouts too :)
Then we hopped back on the bus and headed back to Forest. It was fun being with Sydney for the day...we got back to school around 2 and I just brought her home! She had a pretty cool day!
