Apple Farm Field Trip

Took the munchkins to this cute little farm in our area.

It is a field trip that they were not looking forward to.

It was cold and looked like rain so the thought of going outside to learn about life in the late 1700's-the 1800's was not high on their list of fun things to do today. 

Oh well.

So sad.

We went anyway and got to hang out with friends!

 It was a great photo op for Aimee anyway.

Tons of neat things for pictures.

 There are more this is just what I posted for now.

 Here are some of the munchkins on a hay ride.

They look so disappointed to have to ride on a cart filled with hay right?

 Here they learned how the settlers used to make apple juice.

Dang it was a ton of work!

 Here is Hailey helping.

 Kelsey and Brayden helped too.

Becca and Belle are just behind them getting more apples to put in the press.

 Ian, Michael Jr and Bradley thought jumping off of tree trunks looked more entertaining.

 Then we were so lucky we got to hang out with Johnny Appleseed and hear all about his history.

He was really a sweet boy.

 Here are 3 of the little princesses that had so much fun on our cold weather adventure!

 We got the best caramel apples ever at the end of the trip!

Fresh from the tree apples smothered in warm caramel on a crisp Autumn day...perfect.
Brayden loved his!!

 

Michael Jr even found some amazing leaves before we went to the General Store to pick up our fresh baked apple pie filled with apples just picked that morning and our fresh pressed apple juice gallons.

If you have never had fresh pressed apple juice you have no idea what you are missing.

It is more than delicious.

The Munchkins ended up having such a good day hanging out with friends, making a few new ones and learning about life in early America.

See?

Aren't you glad I made you go??

Yep, I knew it!!

Here are some pictures of the beauty we saw on our ride back home.

Not bad for Southern California.

 Then the sun started to peak through the sky just as the sun was starting to set.

Beautifully, wonderful day.
