Apples, Apples everywhere!

We recently joined a homeschooling group that started up recently in our area. We stay connected through Facebook and are able to set up field trips based on everyone ideas and resources. Our first big field trip happened this week and it was at a small local apple orchard in town. It was finally great to meet all the other home school families.

They taught all about different squash and pumpkins! 






We learned about honey , apples and apple cider. We even got to taste some!




The kids loved being able to ride on a wagon around the orchard. They were able to see the trees, the berry bushes, and pumpkin patch!

They had a great play area the kids can run around in. They also had a great little shop with Cider Donuts! Yum!


It was a wonderful trip and was so glad that the kids were able to make so many new friends, and I was able to meet a lot of other mothers who home school! 

If you want to plan a trip to a local orchard, Call ahead and see if there is a group that will be going around you can join in on. Some orchards will even do  a private tour. Get a group of kids who you also know home school and make a trip of it!
