Fall Field Trip


Aubrin had her first field trip of the year to the apple orchard. Last year we were still wearing flip flops and shorts. This year we needed hats and gloves for the chilly morning that was waiting for us. I was able to take the day off work to spend the time with Aubrin. Krista called that morning and said that she and Cassie weren't feeling great, so we took Tessa with us. Driving to the field trip and listening to Aubrin and Tessa talk in the backseat and sing along to the radio could only make me smile and giggle. They have become such big girls.
When we got there, we played on the play structure for a bit until it was our turn to take a hayride out to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch. After finding the perfect pumpkins and apples we got back on the wagon. As we were sitting there Aubrin had a worried look on her face. I asked her what was wrong and she said that we needed to get off the wagon and get a pumpkin for Jackson. So off the wagon and back out into the pumpkin patch we went.
Then we headed back to have warm donuts and cider. All of the kids had a great time chatting and being silly. This is the second year all of these kids have been together, so they are so comfortable with each. We had the whole barn with about 10 tables and of course most of them all had to sit at one picnic table, on the same side. Sitting and giggling...the sweetest sound.
