Class Field Trip

On Wednesday, Isabella's preschool class took a trip to Weaver's Orchards in Morgantown. We had never been there before and it was a nice place. I think we will definitely visit there again.

We started out in the play area. Isabella really enjoyed the corn table. She and the twins played there together for a long time.

I think Catherine and Elizabeth are quickly becoming close friends with Isabella. They always seem to stick together. I haven't quite figured out how to tell them apart yet, but I'm working on it. Raymond, who was strapped to me the entire time, liked watching them play.

There was a slide in the play area but Isabella only went down it once. As you can tell from the picture, she wasn't that crazy about it. All the kids seemed to slide down it really fast. The boys all loved it and the girls were extra cautious.

Afterwards we took a hayride to the pumpkin patch. Each child and parent got to pick a pumpkin.

After we choose the perfect pumpkin we walked down to Mrs. Raudenbush (one of Isabella's teachers) for a plastic bag to put them in.

While we waited for everyone to get their bags, the kids played a little on the hay.

Next we walked to the apple trees. The lady who was leading our group explained to the kids the way to pick an apple. She also told them the stages an apple goes through before it's shiny, red and ready to eat.Here they are curling up like apple buds. Now they are opening up into apple blossoms.

Isabella found a nice big apple for herself and for mommy.

Everyone headed over to the barn to hear a story about Johnny Appleseed and to see how apple cider is made.

Here is Isabella with Catherine and Elizabeth again. Notice how they are all holding hands.

All the kids was able to throw an apple into the apple press.

Then we went to the picnic area for a snack where we all got apple cider and pretzels. The trip was over so Isabella, Raymond and I went into the market to look around. We tasted a new fruit called a kiwi-berry. It's the size of a grape and tastes just like a kiwi but without the fuzz. We bought some of those to bring home.

On a totally different note, I am currently going through our DVDs and putting them into sleeves to save some space. While looking through them, I found one of our wedding videos. Isabella is always asking about our wedding (I think because she sees the curio cabinet with wedding things in). So I decided to put it in for her. She thought it was so cool! I didn't show her the entire thing, only about 10 minutes. She asked if I would keep it out so we can watch it again. She was just so happy to see it!

Until Next Time!

Lots of Love,
