Field Trip to the Apple Orchard!

On Tuesday, we went to the Apple Orchard. We had perfect weather that day. Our trip was a great way to celebrate the first day of Fall. We rode there on the school bus, which for some kids, is enough excitement right there. When we got there, we got started on the tour. We stopped at many different places along the way. First, we went into the refrigerator where the apples are stored. Next, we saw where the apples are washed, polished, and sorted. Then, we saw where the apples are made into apple cider. We each got our own taste of the apple cider as well. It was delicious. After that, we went and learned about why bees are so important to making apples. Next, we learned about the different kinds of apples. We all got to pick five apples to take home. Then, we went on a hay ride around the apple trees and pumpkin patch. We finished our tour by getting to play on the big playground they had there. Overall, it was a great day! The kids had a good time and enjoyed themselves! Here are some pictures from the day!
