Thatcher's Field Trip to the Apple Orchard....







It was FREEEEZING this morning at the cider mill! We really needed to have our hats and gloves, but who knew?? Thatcher was so excited about this trip that he woke up early! I said "Thatcher! It's your field trip today! I can't wait!" He said "Mommy, I think you can wait cause it's just today!"
We went on a hayride out to the orchards. We picked apples, ate fresh donuts, drank fresh apple cider (which we wished would have been warm), jumped from the straw mountain, went through the petting zoo, played on the huge playground, then came home! This afternoon at Thatcher's request, we made an apple pie with our freshly picked apples that is baking in the oven as we speak! What a fun and chilly day!!

Well...I can't wait to read about the adventures of the Ray children and their mom and dad! Thatcher could not reason his way out of that one!

How FUN! Was this with his 'school' group? Did Margaret go or did she stay home? We've had 40 degree nights here...about 70 degree days.

Can't wait to read the next adventure!

Yes, this was his preschool class that went! Chris went into work later today, so he could help out and keep Margaret!! Worked out nicely!
