I can't think of a more perfect way to spend the first day of fall than by taking a field trip to a local apple orchard. Add to that the fact that it was the first cool day in many, and you have a truly lovely day.
Our first stop was at the haystack. Good, "clean" fun!
Judging by the amount of time she spent there and by the amount of hay she had stuck all over her by the time we left, I'm going to say the haystack was Lissie's favorite part!
We learned how to make apple cider using an old-fashioned press. Everyone got to take a turn using it.
Next it was time to take a hayride out to our apple picking destination. How fun is that?
Our guide's name was Crabby (notice the hat). I'm not sure where he got the name-he was pretty nice to us!
Time to pick some apples!
Enjoying the fruits of our labors. (pun intended)
When we were done picking apples we spent some time in the hedge maze. This, I think, was the older ladies favorite part!
Kate even got in on the fun!
A lovely day at the orchard. Looking forward to next time!
