Caleb went to the apple orchard. This field trip included a presentation on how the orchard cares for the trees and what the apples need to grow. The kids were able to put felt flowers and apples on the tree. Alissa got to go on this field trip with Caleb and she was excited to put apples on the tree just like the big kids.
The kids were also excited to get to have some fresh apple cider.
Then it was apple picking time. Leah got to fill a bag with apples too.

Leah's class took a field trip to the farm. It's a farm owned by one of the staff at the school. They open their farm to the first graders and invite other area farms to bring other animals. It was a neat experience, but not as excited for Leah as some since she is used to getting to her Papa's farm.
Learning about sheep and wool.
Leah got to pick field corn and shell it.
Wagon ride time.
They had a variety of tractors and other equipment for the kids to check out and even get inside.
Our group is learning about the cows
The kids got to put in apples into this old juicer and got to drink the apple cider that they made.
Leah liked the bunnies.
The goats were actually brought by a couple from our church. They brought goat feta cheese for the kids to try. Leah like it!
I am so glad to get to experience this stuff with the kids. I think that they enjoy me being able to go with them too.
Too cute! Looks like they all had fun :-)
