Wiard's Orchard Trip!

Apples were scarce due to this past year's weather conditions.   Kindergartners, however, were not lacking in activity! 

Kindergartners concluded that if you just take one of the first trails going back to the beginning, you couldn't possibly get lost in the corn maze. 








We noticed several ears of corn still centered on the stalks.  The cobs reminded us of one of our "Trickster Tales" heard this week during this month's "Genre Studies."   Tops and Bottoms written and illustrated by Janet Stevens  told of how some clever rabbits tricked a lazy bear out of "the middles" (ears of corn) by giving it the "tops" (corn hairs) and "bottoms" (roots) for his agreed upon portion of the crop harvest.

So many pumpkin choices, so little time!

The hayride provided some great family and friend snuggle time. 

Bales of hay and a large pirate ship climber provided some great gross motor activities.













Local cider and donuts were a great treat to very a sweet trip to the Orchard!
