Brady's Field Trip to Plymouth Orchards

This is Brady's second year in the preschool program that is part of the school district in which we live.  It's a large program that has several classrooms for 3 year olds and 4 year olds in several elementary schools (there are 16 this year and will be downsized to 13 next year), offering varying days and times.  Every year, all of the preschool classes take turns going to Plymouth Orchards for a fall field trip and this is Brady's second year taking this field trip.  He was beyond excited to go this year.

 We got on the tractor and they took us to the apple trees first where Brady picked two apples, one for each of us.

 Pumpkins next!  He picked two big ones compared to some others we saw.

Since it was his second year doing this field trip, I thought I'd compare some pics.  He's grown a lot in the last year!

Brady's Field Trip to Plymouth Orchards

Brady's first ever school field trip was to the apple orchard!  Since they're still so young, parents have to accompany their child on field trips and siblings have to stay home.  Brady was talking about going to the orchard for days before it was actually time to go.  When we got there, some of his friends said hi to him, but he was acting shy with me around.  One of the other moms mentioned that their little boy plays with Brady every day and we decided to hang out with them on the field trip.  His little buddy's name is Xander and he's pictured to the right of Brady above.

The kids got a little lesson on pollination before we headed out to the orchard.

Picking apples.

He made sure that I noticed it was a Ford tractor.  He's all about naming every make of cars.

Next stop - pumpkin picking!

Snack time!  Yummy donuts and apple cider.

The elusive Brady worm.

Brady is forever pretending to be a cat at home, so this was perfect for him.

I got into the fun as well.

Time for animals.
