Nicolas had his first preschool field trip yesterday. We went to Crane's Apple Orchard in Fennville, MI. It was a lot of fun. I helped to chaperon almost twenty four year olds! They were all so excited, despite the crisp fall weather! They lined up in front of the pumpkin house for a group picture in front of the pumpkin house. All these kids and yet not one pumpkin hit the ground! Amazing!
Nicolas had a wonderful time along with his two "best friends" Parker and Michael. They rode together on the hay ride, picked apples, ate, and made mischief as if they were one mind. Boys will be boys and that's exactly what they were. They ran through the fields giving our guide a workout as she tried to explain how apples are made, how cider is made, and how corn comes off a cob!

The hay ride was so much fun as we went around curves, up steep hills and down the other side, through apple fields, peach trees, forests, and by lakes and ponds. Parker and Nicolas wanted to sit in the back and you can tell they are having a wonderful time! We brought home some tasty apple cider donuts, apple cider, and beautiful self-picked apples for a treat!

The orchard also has a corn maize called "Walk on the Wild Side" which is supposed to be adults only fun - aka scary! We might go try it out this weekend if we can find a baby sitter!
