Olivia's First Field Trip


On Friday Olivia went on her very first field trip! I was able to take the morning off and go with her. We went to the Apple Barn with her Preschool class. It was a lot of fun!

The children were able to walk around the apple orchard, through the large garden, and sample an apple at the end (of course my picky eater said no thank you because she only likes golden delicious apples). They were taught about how apples grow, all the different kinds of apples, other fruits and vegetables, and what they use their produce for. Along the way we also got introduce to a garden snake. Of course all of the children were intrigued, but all of the moms stayed clear.

Throughout the field trip I came to find that Olivia is a very affectionate friend. She is always wanting to hold her friends hands, and her teachers told me that she is always wanting to make the children feel good and welcome. They said she is always compassionate towards those crying in class and wants to help them feel better....all I have to say is TOO CUTE! She is always like that with Joey at home, but I was not aware that she was like that with her classmates.

At the end of the field trip, Olivia and I went into the Apple Barn bakery and indulged in some delicious desserts! We brought daddy some mouth watering cinnamon rolls and Joey a cookie the size of his head.

What a great field trip!
