Lewis Farms







The kids went on their first field trip of the school year to Lewis Farms. We have been there before (and LOVED it), but it is still fun to go back, especially when it is for "school". Everyone there was so wonderful, explaining all the animals, giving us yummy cider and donuts, and taking us on an apple express to pick apples in the orchard. They were kind enough to take us to the dwarf apple trees. The kids knew the "proper" way to remove an apple (for the record, you twist and pull towards the sun, never down, it could ruin the blossom for next year, would have loved to known that in years past...sorry trees!!) and the best part, all the apples were at their level. It is a lot of fun to see the kids interect with their friends at school. I had a great time and I think they did too.
