Bridger's field trip Friday last week was to the Apple Orchard to learn about the letter "O".
We went to an Orchard in Alpine and Bridger and Dalton got to tour the orchard and pick some of their very own apples!
The farmer, Clark, gave Dalton an apple to munch on while we were looking around and learning about orchards and apples.
Bridger didn't want me to disturb his apple picking by telling him to smile for a picture.
That's why he's giving me his pouty face...
The kids LOVED riding in the apple crate on the back of the tractor.
L.O.V.E.D. it! Dalton wished he could have gone too!
After the tour, we got to taste fresh apple juice (which was AMAZING!) and see the cold storage where he keeps the apples. The color storage room smelled so good, like the best fresh apple smell you can imagine. The kind that only can come from a room filled with thousands of fresh picked apples. I wish I could have stood in there and just breathed it in all day long.
We were so impressed with everything that we also bought a big bag of Honeycrisp apples.
They are perfect!
I'm probably going to go back to this orchard every time I want apples or peaches because the farmer, Clark, was so nice, and...there just something cool about knowing exactly where your food comes from.
