One thing that I love about Rochester is their love of Apple Orchards. We have several that are a short drive from our home. Every year the preschools and kindergartens get to go on a field trip to an orchard. This year I got to go with Andy's class. It was a beautiful day and we had a good time with his class. We got a full instruction of how they pick and sort the apples, how they make apple cider, what they do with the rotten apples, and where they keep them (in a huge room that they keep at 30 degrees - it's a huge refrigerator room). The kids got to pick an apple, a small pumpkin, and try a few blueberries (although, I'm sure they don't compare to yours Miriam!). I love this first picture. The apple orchard man was telling us how they make apple cider and I wanted to get a shot of Andy listening with his teacher, Mrs. Huddleston. Andy has this sixth sense when it comes to cameras and at the last second he turned and gave me this cheesy smile.
This is us on the tractor trailer ride.
Andy with his Kindergarten class. He's in the back directly below the apple. You can barely see his face. Of course he had to be in the back because he's one of the tallest in his class.
We went through a corn maze and Andy was gracious enough to stop and let me get his photo next to the stalks.
Out of all the pumpkins we saw, Andy chose a very dirty one!

No Mrs. Lamb for Andy? I loved her.
They sell honey crisp apples here in the fall and I always have to buy them even though they are twice as much as other apples. They remind me so much of Rochester.
