Apple picking, pumpkin picking...

...and a day with 26 kindergartners. It was perfect weather for a day in the fields and a lovely time was had by all. Natalie was beyond excited about riding the bus. In fact, that was the highlight of her field trip. I had 5 children I was responsible for, one being my very own. These were very well behaved kiddos (thank Jesus), however we had a couple wanderers...one being my own :) I did not lose any of the children byut I think I said all their names in my sleep that night. We picked Rome apples. These are pretty tasty apples to eat and also to use for baking . (Just made an apple crisp with a few) We tasted cider and learned a little about the farm and the process of producing apples. Every one ate lunch together so I was able to watch Natalie interact with her friends. That was pretty cool! We moved on for a lesson on pumpkins, indian corn and gourds. At the end of our hayride, we could pick a selection of the above.
It was a great day and I am so thankful I get to be a part of things like this with my girl!
