Apple Orchard


Yesterday was Erica's class trip to the apple orchard. Except for the part in the apple barn where the kids had to go through a narrow door and up 3 steps to an observation platform by the conveyor belt, the wheelchair handled the terrain very well. The kids got a free sample of cider, they got a small bag to fill with Jonathan apples and were allowed to pick one more to eat after their bags were filled. I'm amazed, actually, that Erica has never taken this field trip before. Preschool and kindergarten classes all over central Ohio make the pilgrimmage to Lynd's Fruit Farm (the largest apple orchard in Ohio with over 75,000 trees) but somehow her class never went until this year. We've been to the pumpkin patch before as a family, but I really do love the apples :) Now to try my hand at my mom's unbeatable pie crust while I still have my neighbor's peeler/corer/slicer on loan!
