Two Fun Field trips

We've been to a number of great field trips this fall. We went to a local apple orchard that features a craft making time (see great pumpkins below)...

... a teaching time (we learned about the history of apples)...

... how to make cider ...

... and then time to play on their playground before cider and donuts.




This was a very cool thing they showed the children. The apple folks put stickers on the apples when they are green and leave them there. When they peel back the stickers - viola, the words are there in green! My children got lots of ideas for our apples for next year!

We also toured our local Cold Stone Creamery which was very fun. They showed us how they make the ice cream each morning.

Then we got to all make our own ice cream creations. The children thought that this was an awesome field trip.
