Okaw Valley Apple Orchard

It's the second week of school for this girl, and she's already off on her first field trip! Hattie's preschool class went to Okaw Valley Apple Orchard, down near Sullivan. The day started out rainy, but ended up pretty nice. And we met a new neighbor...Hattie's friend Alec will be moving on to our street in a few weeks, Fun!

We started out in the orchard, and our guide talked about the different kinds of apples. The kids were excited that they got to pick 2 Macintosh and 2 Golden Delicious. Mom's got to pick some too! Then we went over to watch how they sort the apples. We got to see the cider press and she explained how the machine works, and even got to go into the gigantic cooler. We saw the queen bee and all the worker bees and followed it up with Hattie's favorite part...SNACK! We had apple donuts, apple cider and apple cider slushy. Once we had wrapped up snack time, the kids got to enjoy some much needed time on the playground. What a fun morning!
