"OUR FIELDTRIP TO HONEY POT HILL FARMS!!

Good Evening All,

We finally made it to Honey Pot Hill Farms, in beautiful Stow, this morning, and, it was well worth the wait -- we took lots and lots of photos!!!!

"Jack", our bus driver, was very efficient and friendly -- we observed nature, together, including "oreo"-(striped) cows and horses, from afar, and sang songs on our way to the Farm -- with us were Orion's Dad and Molly's Grandmother -- thank you, both, for your enthusiasm and assistance!! :) :)

Once at the Farm, everything went very smoothly, and, aside from our hands being a little bit cold, after picking the apples, we were very comfortable!!

We went for a hayride, with our driver, Mr. Hark, and searched for hidden pumpkins, along the way -- Once at the grove, Martha showed the children how to pick apples without harming next year's crop -- "gently twist and pull" -- the apples were among the largest and tastiest, ever!!

Upon our return from the orchard, we ate "yummalicious" cider doughnuts and drank apple cider -- mmmmmm . . . , and, then, chose our pumpkins.

(Thank you, families, for your patience -- I must wonder if going on this particular fieldtrip, today, was in the master plan, for a truly wonderful time was had by all who attended!!!!)

Please enjoy the week-end, and, the teachers look very forward to seeing you all, beginning on Monday -- the start of another jam-packed week of seasonal learning and fun!!

Love Miss Peacock XOXO
