First Field Trip - A Little Story to Brighten Your Day...

During my years in Michigan, my all-time-favorite field trip of the year, was to the Apple Orchard/Pumpkin Farm; so naturally, when I relocated here to Wisconsin, I very much wanted to find that same experience here...and I did...sort of.

About a month ago, Preschool Teacher and I took our students to a local orchard for a field trip...and it just happen to be the coldest, wettest day of year! We had 22 little troopers though! They bundled right up and tromped through the orchard. They were on a mission! We were there to pick apples and that's what they were gonna do!

When we came inside to 'warm-up', our Apple Guide was introducing the children to the different types of apples; in particular to the apples that share names with people (Molly, Jonathan etc). She held up an apple and asked the children, if they new anyone with the name of Jon or Jonathan. Only one child raised his hand...when I noticed which child it was, I was very confused (knowing that he had no one in his family with this name) but nothing prepared me for his answer of, "Yes! John the Baptism!"

I laughed soo very hard.

I love kids.
