Emma had her turn in the apple orchard too. For her first ever field trip, her preschool class went to the same apple orchard and pumpkin farm that Henry and I visited last week. This time, Dan was home from work so Emma had Mamma and Daddy with her. It was the cutest thing, seeing all those three-year-olds running around, so excited about everything. Almost every child had a parent there so it was just about an equal number of adults and children. First we took a little tour through the orchard and learned about bees and what an apple looks like inside. Then we went into an old barn and saw a "movie" about Johnny Appleseed. This was a little strange...a projector was set up very close to a mannequin's face. When the movie started, it was just a man's face, projected on the mannequin, who then became Johnny Appleseed. I suppose it was pretty clever but I am not sure three is the ideal age for that show... Next we went to pick some apples. It was a gorgeous fall day so the weather couldn't have been more perfect. Everyone filled their bags with apples and then got to pick out a pumpkin. Emma found a beauty that we plan to make into a pumpkin pie together. I've never made one from scratch before so I am looking forward to it! With all the fall activities that we have been doing, you would think that we would have gotten some pumpkins for our front porch...but no...we still don't have any pumpkins that we can carve into Jack-O-Lanterns on Halloween. Hopefully we can get that accomplished this weekend. Happy Friday!
