Woolwine Apple Orchard Field Trip

Toward the end of September we had an amazing tour of a beautiful apple orchard with some other homeschoolers.  I.ve wanted for a couple years now to do a field trip a month.  Why homeschool if you aren't going to get out into the beautiful world and learn from it?  I managed to mostly sequester school to the inside of my house however, until few friends put together some great field trip plans for this year and opened it up to others families.  Yay!  Answered prayer!

 One of the three brother-owners telling us about his orchard.

 Handed the camera to Dorathea. She did well!





 Picnic lunch after we picked.
Dorathea surprised me by washing ever single apple and putting them in the fridge when we got home.  

Our friends the Barkers who we rode with on the drive up the Blue Ridge Parkway.
My fridge is still full of apples.  I see apple pie in the near future!
Thank you Shannon for putting together this great day.
