Irons Fruit Farm

Yet another school trip, this activity was at an apple orchard. I was actually a little disappointed with the tour. We stood for a long time listening to them talk about different aspects of the orchard, which did not keep the kids attention for very long. I was hoping for a hay ride through the orchard or something to make it a little more fun, especially since we had to pay for the tour. Oh well, we made the best of it. It is pretty old school, they pick all of the apples by hand and do all of the sorting by hand also. They do have the best apple fritters I have ever had, but, of course, they were out that day! It is also hard to believe that this was just 3 weeks ago and we were wearing shorts and t-shirts and now, we are getting quite chilly. It actually looks like next week should be in the high 60s again, so I guess we can't complain too much.

All of the boys loved the little pumpkin patch, but Tate was the most enthralled with it. I think he tried to pick up every pumpkin, without much success.

Ry and Kol, however, were testing their manly muscles and seeing how big of a pumpkin they could pick up. I kept waiting for them to bust one, but we managed to escape with all of the pumpkins unharmed!
