First up was Melanie's trip with her preschool class & we had a BEAUTIFUL & warm fall day for it!
 |
| Melanie was excited to ride the big yellow bus! |
Farmer Tom is great at giving the kids a good lesson on how apples grow, how to pick them, shine them & then take the essential bite test that should result in a nice, crisp CRUNCH...
 |
| Melanie found her apple she wanted to pick... the variety of the day was a Golden Delicious called a Smoothie. |
 |
| Queen of the hill! |
After the wagon ride through the orchard, the kids got to play for a bit on the big haystack, check out the animals in the petting area, peddle little tractors & RUN!
A few weeks later... I got to go back with Brandon's 1st grade class. It was a cool fall day but thankfully the drizzle they predicted held off for us! Back we went across the river to Ferguson's Morningside Orchard (same one as Melanie's class).
 |
| My little group consisted of Brandon, Marcus & Christian... they were fun boys to have! |
We took a different route through the orchard this time as we had to head to different trees. The apple harvest was a few weeks ahead of schedule this year due to our early spring, so Farmer Tom had to try & keep a few trees still with apples on them for their remaining field trip groups. This time we headed to a cluster of Haralson trees.
 |
| The boys all picked some nice apples... Brandon waited to eat his until he got home so I could cut it up since his loose tooth was making it difficult to bite it! |
 |
| King of the Hill... not hard with no competition! |
We had a great time & it was a great bunch of kids!!
