a few weeks back our group traveled out to oak glen to visit riley's apple farm. every year they host a home schooling day and have lots of fun activities for the kiddo's. this year home schooling day was so popular they had to add on several more days to accommodate all the home schooler's who wanted to participate. (i love that this home schooling thing is catching on). it's about an hour and half drive for us to get out there, but it's a great drive and gets us out of our beach bubble. my girl loves this trip. she started asking back in july when we were going to go apple picking again and honestly, it couldn't come soon enough. here are a "few" photos from our day...
we sawed wood to use for the fire
the fire was used to boil water to make tea (see a few photos down)
we practiced writing with a quill pen and ink
pumped water
pounded and crushed leaves for tea
tasted it
she didn't like it. can you tell?
picked apples
washed them
threw them in the grinder
to make apple cider
that was put away in a cool refrigerator for us to enjoy at the end of our day
this sign was spotted by the mister
so, these two went walking
to look at this and buy some to take home. (yes, the mister strapped 2 pieces of cedar to the roof of our van)
we played in a creek
i love his chubby, bear paw feet
smudged our faces with dirt
panned for gold
recited our monthly poem
went on hay ride
ground some corn to make corn flour
and took a picture under an apple tree. just like the good ol' days.
