Our trip to the Apple Orchard

Yesterday was Hadleigh's 1st field trip. We went to an Apple Orchard in Indiana. It was so cute! It was also Hadleigh's first trip on a school bus! When we arrived at the orchard, we did the petting zoo first, and then we were able to quickly check out the gift shop. Then, we had lunch, and a tour of the apple orchard. It was interesting, and the kids all loved picking their own apples. We then were able to see where they are washed, sorted, and packed. The orchard also has a bee house, where the bees make honey, and the kids learned about the bees and honey. The moms were able to go and get their free apple doughnut while the kids were in the bee house! YUMMY! OMG, those doughnuts were to die for, and I'm not a big doughnut person! Then, they learned about photosynthesis, and what it takes to grow the trees, and it takes 44 leaves to make one apple! How interesting! It was a fun day. Hadleigh fell asleep on the ride home.

Ashton had early dismissal, so he was able to get off the bus at his friend's house. My friend Amy, was also on the field trip, and Ethan and Ashton got off the bus at her house and her MIL was their to watch the boys. Sawyer was at my friend Tiffany's house, and when I came home, she brought him home and I watched her daughter Lauren, so she could get things done at the shop. Thank goodness for friends and our babysitting swapping! lol

Hadleigh and I want to take Jerry, Ashton, and Sawyer back to this orchard because we had such a great time! :)
