Field Trip: Apple Picking...

Alexander had his first school field trip today - apple picking! He got to ride on a school bus & pick apples on a farm.

He was very excited for both apple picking & the school bus (especially when he saw the school bus). He was excited to be on the bus with Aidan & Aidan's Daddy (Aidan's Daddy & I were a couple of the chaperone's for the field trip) and the boys kept looking for each other in their seats.

At the farm, we walked by some horses which got all the kids excited. Then it was time to ride out to the apples on a tractor pulled hayride. Alexander wanted to stand on my lap and look at everything around rather than sit.

Once we got out to the trees, we got out and the kids immediately started picking apples...and then eating them. Aidan's Daddy & I cleaned a couple apples for Alexander & Aidan while we started picking because the boys really had no interest. They wanted to run in between the trees and hide under branches.

It was a gorgeous day & everyone had a blast! We filled up our bags & then it was time to go back on the tractor. We got back to the farm for a story & snack time. Then they let the kids go see the animals before it was time to get back on the bus for school.

Alexander liked the bunny & the goats but wanted no part of the horse. He thought the goat scratching his head on the fence was great.

It was time to head back to school just in time for lunch/naptime and that couldn't have come soon enough as Alexander & his friends were starting to hit that wall. I know Alexander was starting to crash fast. We got back to their class and Aidan & Alexander were close to meltdowns...so Aidan's Daddy & I left quickly so Miss Lori & Miss Alexa could take control of the room and get everyone settled.

Overall, everyone had a wonderful time! Perfect first time field trip!
