Apple Orchard

On Tuesday, we headed out with a local mom's group on a field trip to the apple orchard and pumpkin farm.  You might remember us doing this same trip last year...Click here to see last year's visit to the orchard.

Dallas spotted this huge pumpkin right away and wanted his picture taken with it

Reba chose the little pumpkins

At the start of the tour, we learned about Johnny Appleseed and how he started many orchards by collecting the seeds from cider mills

The orchard is starting to replace some of their original trees (not ones planted by Johnny Appleseed), this young tree was the only tree in the orchard to still have apples on it

The last original tree - over 50 years old!

We were even able to sample some of the cider they make

It was delicious! 

Before heading home, I had to get one more picture...

...and compare it to last years

Until next time...
