We went to an apple orchard for Adam's preschool field trip. It was a lot of fun. Andrew got to come along because we went in the morning (we barely made it make in time for the bus). They fed the goats, watched the different kinds of chickens there ("Look, there's a zebra chicken!" ~courtesy of Adam), and even got to hold little chicks.
They had these not-in-use tractors sitting out that a bunch of children were climbing on for pictures. I couldn't keep my boys away from them. What? Keep boys away from something like that? No, I don't think so! They climbed right up there and went to work ... well, they would have gone to work if the tractors were running.
There was also a corn pit that they were able to play in. I LOVE these things! They are the best ... way better than the ball pits. I mean, how many balls go home in your pants and hoodies when you play in the ball pit? ;-) No, these are lots of fun.
When we got around to picking the apples, the boys were gung ho! It was really exciting to see that the apple trees were the perfect height for them to pick apples.
It was a lot of fun ... I'm glad we went. Maryanne was so good just hanging out in my baby wrap under my coat. (Yeah, we had to wear coats ... it was cold, we're talking in the 40s!) Now, I just wish everyone in the family was able to go with us.
