We are almost through with our 2013 Orchard Tours.  It has been a successful year even if we did have one rainy morning! (so far…)

A good friend of mine, Lisa H, has taken over the tour portion of the orchard.  When you visit with your class or daycare you’re lucky to have her guide you through the orchard.  She’s incredible!We did have a rainy morning for a daycare.  Luckily – we have a great lean area that we were able to make into an outdoor class room.  We prepared some different varieties of apples that would work for an apple tasting for the kiddos.   All the kids looked adorable in their fantastic rain gear!The apple crate chairs worked out great for these kiddo’s!  What a wonderfully behaved group. 

They sat so nicely and patiently as they waited for the tasting to begin.  At this point the rain was still not letting up…But the tasting went well – this was the Haralson apple – a bit tart for most kids. About half way through their visit the rain stopped and the thunder paused.  The group was able to head out into the orchard for the rest of their visit.  They even had time to hang out with the goats.

I just love this picture!

And of course – a few trips down the slides were in order. The kids all piled onto the bus just before the next rain hit.
