Klackle Farms

Well, Fall is certainly here and what a great time we had at Klackle Farms with our play group a couple weeks ago! We decided to take the kids apple and pumpkin picking, despite the chilly, rainy weather. It was the only time we could all do it, so we decided to make it happen. And boy are we glad that we did. The weather didn't seem to phase any of us! When we arrived, we put all the kids in this wooden wagon - that made transportation quite easy.

One advantage of the rain was that we got take the enchanted pumpkin ride, which usually only runs on the weekends! What fun it was to all pile into the pumpkin and ride out to pick apples and pumpkins!

When we arrived in the orchard, Rachel was excited to see all the trees and apples. She thought it was neat that some had fallen on the ground. She decided to pick one and began to eat it. As you will see from the rest of the pictures, that apple went with us the rest of the day. She was not about to give it up - it was too yummy! And funniest of all was that she had never eaten an apple that it wasn't cut up into slices. I was amazed at how well she ate her apple without ever having practiced before. Actually, come to think of it, I was astounded that she even knew what to do with that apple!

When we were finished picking our bag of apples we headed over to the pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin. Rachel and Carolyn were both much more interested in their apples, but still enjoyed the pumpkins.

Rachel picked this pumpkin out, so it had to come home with us!

You can see the damage Rachel made on her apple. Great work!

She's all done for the day, laying in the hay!!!
