Apple Picking Field Trip

A few of the classes from Nash's preschool went on an apple picking field trip to Zimmerman Apple Orchard.  This orchard is located about 40 minutes from our house.  I so wished it was closer because I would have begged to let me take family pictures there.

 They helped make apple sauce....

Talked about the pond and found caterpillars by the water....

 Learned about the different animals that lived near the orchard.  They lady holding the antlers is Mrs. Zimmerman, she is a teacher at the school as well as owns the orchard.  If you look in the top right of this next picture that is her house.  I would LOVE to live here (minus how far from a store it is.)

 The children learned about the equipment used to pick apples and then were able to climb a latter.

 Mrs. Z also taught the kids how to correctly pick an apple.  "Raise your hand. Grab the apple and pull down and say YES!"

Nash did a good job choosing and picking his apple, it was as big as a pumpkin!

It was super juicy and I was just waiting for Nash to be sick of it so I could eat it...yum, yum!

This is Nash's little Joseph.  He was in his class last year and also takes speech with Nash.

Joseph's mom offered to hold Asa while I took pictures.  He wasn't a fan of the carrier I brought for him.

 

The kids also got to sit on a tractor and explore the orchard equipment.

 Such a fun morning out.  I LOVE that Nash's teacher was willing to take the kids on a field trip.  He didn't go on any last year and I think it was such a fun experience for the kids.  I LOVE Mrs. Cowell.  Nash told me tonight that he hopes when Asa gets bigger he can have Mrs. Cowell as his teacher.  I told him we will be moving.  His response was "Maybe Mrs. Cowell can come too."  He is such a sweet little boy!
