Apple Orchard 2011

Today we had the privilege of going on
our second field trip with the RVA.
We went to Helene's Hilltop Orchard in Merrill.
God blessed us with an absolutely gorgeous day
for this field trip!
Katrina and Samuel invited a friend to join them
on this field trip
(and I got to invite a friend too! --
Megan, Ellie and Josie, we had the BEST time with you girls!).

We started our rotations (eat lunch/play, wagon ride and pick apples)
eating lunch and playing.
No pictures were taken during the wagon ride
because Joel had to eat a bottle and I am not
that talented!

Picking apples is Katrina's favorite fall activity,
hands down.
She was so amped up this morning before we left that
I wasn't sure I even wanted to go!
Samuel looked for all the smallest apples still on the trees
and then enjoyed a large, juicy Cortland.
(he is going to be famous for that scowl --
trust me, he had a great time, he just doesn't like to pose for pictures)

Or maybe I should say he doesn't like to pose for pictures
without Josie! (upper right photo)
It was a SUPER fun time.

Joel was along, but only got his picture taken
once we were loaded back in the van
since I carried him in a front carrier the entire
field trip.
He did a great job on his first trip to the orchard!
