Apple Orchard 10.16.08

On Thursday, October 16th I had the chance to go with Drew's class to a local orchard. I was shocked when they told us that would be were they went for their field trip this year since I had searched all over for an apple orchard. I REALLY wanted to take the boys to pick apples this year, but never found a Pick-Your-Own orchard here in the Ozarks. I have already marked next years calendar to make a trip back to the St. Louis area so we don't miss out on it again!

When we arrived at the orchard, the owner came out and talked to them about a few of the many different variety of apples that they grew at the orchard and explained how they pick the apples. (all 3 of the Pre-K2 classes are shown above - along with two of the teachers)
Then we walked a short distance into the orchard and each of use were able to pick on Liberty apple to take home with us.

After each of us selected our apples, we were able to tour the cooler where they are stored and rounded the visit out with a small piece of apple cake. Drew seemed to enjoy the trip, so it made me even more anxious to take to him to a big orchard next year!

And how about this! I actually completed a scrapbook page!!! The first one since Nov. of LAST YEAR!! Drew has a Show-&-Tell SPA (Student-Parent Activity) that is due next Monday. They needed to help make some type of apple food - which is why I had my mom make an apple pie with him while she was down here. :) So along with the recipe, he will show this: Credits: Paper, Ribbon & WordArt: NitWit's Fall Collection, Frames: Nancy Comelab, and little metal apple brads: Atomic Cupcake

Not the best page I have scrapped, but it will work. :) Maybe I will FINALLY get my scrapping mojo back! I need to since I have a Year-In-Review book to still get together and printed before Christmas...which I haven't even STARTED yet!!
