Field Trip!

Today was the first school field trip of the year. We went to Fiato's Apple Orchid to pick apples, take a hayride, play in the hay maze and eat donuts and cider. We are having some great weather so the day was perfect. When we left we actually turned the air on in the van. All 5 of us went. The boys met up with all their school friends. Tyler kind of stuck with us but the groups were divided so he did have some of his classmates with us. It was nice for me to meet some of these parents. I am so out of the loop with Tyler's class as Brett takes him/picks him up. So I got to chit chat with the parents and start to learn a whole new group of kids names. We did get the orchid early and was able to buy new pumpkins for the boys. They got some good ones. These pumpkins will be kept inside until Halloween and then once put outside we will bring them in every night. Halloween pumpkins this year have cost me $36 this year. Way to much if you ask me!

The leaves are so pretty this time of year!

Tyler's first school field trip. Hard to believe he is my baby and is 3 now. Sniff, sniff! They grow to fast. On the hay wagon and ready to go! Dylan and Nathan.......One thing about today was I saw who the boys "paired up" with. It wasn't each other. They both had their "groups". That was neat to see! Last year it was just the two of them....this year they have expanded. Big step for them I think!After fun and games - it was time to pick our apples. They have all learned the proper way to pick an apple. (Twist and pull) The farmers were very happy. The trees that were ready had a tag on them and the kids were told to look for the colored tag. Then it was in search of the BIG apple. Dylan found his.....After some examining - Cody found his too......Tyler decided that he would get right down, sit down and pick out the perfect apple! Oh and they were only supposed to get 2 - Tyler is still learning and took 4. Oops!
