Field Trip to Carter Mountain Orchard



We had such a great time at the Carter Mountain Orchard! We started the day picking apples in the orchard. The trees were full of apples, and the boys were able to pick them right off the branches. They were also able to munch on an apple- a juicy treat on an uncharacteristically hot day! Once their bags were full, the boys dropped them off on the bus and went to "Apple School" where they were reminded of what an apple tree looks like during the seasons of the year. They also reviewed the parts of an apple. We finished our day with a hayride and a picnic lunch. It was a wonderful day!
