Our First Preschool Fieldtrip

We had our first official field trip today. We packed up in the sprinkles and headed to Plymouth Orchards. The kids started off learning about how apples come to be. Their favorite part was buzzing around pretending to be the bee's that pollinate the apple blossoms so they can turn into apples. After the lesson, we loaded on a wagon and headed into the orchard, where they each to pick some apples. We ate the apples for lunch later that day...not bad!!! They also got to pick out a cute little pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. Seth, Grace and Elaina love pumpkins, so they really enjoyed that! My favorite part was heading inside for cider and donuts! YUM!!! Of course, Elaina had to use the bathroom and the only ones available there are port-a-potties...let me just say...YUCK!!!! I had to leave the door open and turn my head to avoid gagging. I have a bad port-a-potty phobia. I have always dreaded the day when I had to take the children to use them! Well, that day is here!!!
