The girls went on their first real field trip last week...it was so much fun!
The trip was to the orchard, where we go every few weeks, but it was still a new adventure to experience everything with their classmates. And there were a few things we'd never done, or hadn't done in a long time, like the hay ride, corn maze, pumpkin patch, and apple cider demonstration.
We've had a pretty warm fall so far, but last Friday was FRIGID! Lows that morning were in the 20's...and the orchard is located at the highest point in the county. I think the car registered 35 degrees as we were driving there about 9:00 that morning. Yikes!
I broke out the girls' warm coats for the first time, and I have to say I loved seeing my little snow bunnies all bundled up.
At least we had warm sunshine...and by the end of the morning, we were able to shed our hood and our top layer.
Of course I snapped a few (or a hundred) pictures...

The girls were initially excited about the corn maze, but the tour leader warned all the kiddos to stay with their mommies. "
If you get lost, we'll pick you up tomorrow," he joked. Apparently the joke was lost [no pun intended!] on most of the kids, though.
The girls were pretty tentative as we went through. They did not want to let go my hands, even for me to snap a picture. This was one of only a couple of shots I got. Poor babes!

| Sticking together! |
After the corn maze, we headed to the pumpkin patch. The girls must have picked up 20 pumpkins each before making their selections.

At last it was time for a snack...apple cider and a sugar cookie. Here are a few of the kiddos, posing with Mrs. D.
We played a bit on the playground before it was time to pack up. I got one last picture of my by-then tired babies.

We rounded out the morning by going to lunch with one of their classmates, and we came home and took a bubble bath in Mommy's giant tub.
Fun, fun, fun!!!

So fun!! A & M had their first pumpkin patch field trip on Thursday. It was freezing here, too (and of course, it's 80 today!). I was glad for the chill...it felt right for a fall tradition!
Cold or not, they look gorgeous!!! Those jackets are really nice!
I also LOVE that photo with the morning sun on B!!
