Looks like a lot of good apple pies and applesauce will be made soon.

This is adorable. Way to go, Ms. Harris.

One time, when I was a kid, my family went on a trip. One of our stops was George Washington’s Apple Orchard. At one time I was walking through, the weather was perfect, gorgeous, I was enjoying the day…the next thing I knew I was waking up in their infirmary. To this day the smell of apples makes me nauseous.

This is good for the kids…not only picking out apples but also getting some fresh air and exercise!

It’s a good thing not to forget how to be a kid now and then : )

My 3rd Grade Field Trip was to an Apple Orchard. We got to pick apples and watch the making of Cider. We saw the animals on the farm. And heard a lot of farm sounds: “Cluck Cluck” “Moooo” “Neigh” “Get of that Quackin’ Tractor”

The fella at far right will be last back on the bus, with a top-of-the-tree prize still in his teeth.

She remembers..

A lot of orchards here will be having their fests soon.

Sorry kiddos, gotta be 21 for the wine & cider!

Who’s the old guy?

I remember some of my autumn elementary school trips. To a maple syrup farm owned by a classmate’s family. At the end, they’d dribble syrup on a snow bank and we’d all eat maple flavored snowballs.

At that age they need more of a “Shepherd” than a Chaperone.

When they reach Puberty, OTOH …

Sign… pity the younger generation now hooked on to the cellphone screen.

Clem’s looking at his apple as if he isn’t sure just what it is….
