Mums, Pumpkins, Apples and I

by Kasey

Today was my daughter, Ella’s 1st field trip of her school career.  We all headed to the Apple Barn in our town!  It was a lot of fun and really exciting to see the joy on the kid’s faces.  They really enjoyed it!  We had a great “show and tell” time by a fun, upbeat lady that called herself Hanna Banana.

We walked through blackberry patches and apple orchards and even headed over to the pumpkin patch.

Blackberries!

We snacked on gala apples and fresh apple cider.  Which I might add was the BEST cider I’ve ever had.

Snack time!

After the tour was over, we had an opportunity to wander around and check out all the Fall items such as mums and pumpkins and squash and gourds.

Fall is here!

We took pictures together and then found the fresh bakery treats.  I had an apple fritter and Ella and her friend Eva split a sprinkle covered, iced doughnut.  It was really a fun time!  I’m so glad that I am able to spend these special moments with my daughter everyday and look forward to the many more field trips we’ll take from here on out.

What fun! I love Fall. We’ve done the apple picking thing 3 times in the last month, but haven’t made it out for pumpkins yet. This will be our first year to carve jack-o-lanterns with the kids!

OH – how fun! I can’t wait to carve our jack-o-lanterns either. Such good memories!
