Field Trip to the Apple Orchard

Brooke and I had a great time on her field trip today. We went with her class to an apple orchard. Unfortunately it rained most of the time. So my pictures didn't turn out as well as I would have liked and many of the animals were hiding so we didn't get to see them. They had goats, reindeer, ducks, a wallaby, zebras, miniature ponies, and more. We got to feed the goats, tour the cider mill, go on a wagon ride to pick apples and gourdes and play on all the fun toys. Everyone in Brooke's class has a "name shirt" which is handy for volunteers and field trips so that's what everyone is wearing over their coats in the pictures.

This was in the Cider Mill. They were showing us how they make apple cider.




All the cider is being squeezed out. Can you see it? Look closely.

The goats




This was a fun game. It had a cup attached to it and pulled on the strings to make the cup go up or down. There was like a tree house up top where the goats could walk to, so I think you could put food in there for them and send it up to them.

Can you tell it was raining?

This was everyone's favorite part. They just wanted to play!


This was a slide the kids could slide down. And it was perfect since it was raining because it was enclosed. I wasn't trying to get a picture of the mom, she just kept standing there. I guess she was waiting for her child to come down.

The whole class!
