Be Safe! Be ready! The best foot gear that you can wear to the apple orchard is rubber boots because the grass could be wet.Tatianna

PumpkinsIn the fall, we harvest pumpkins. Pumpkins grow on a vine. Pumpkins have large leaves that catch the rain. The water goes down a tube to give water to the pumpkin. Jack

Our trip to Framer Mark’s apple orchard was a lot of fun. We are thankful that Farmer Mark taught us about apples. It was a great field trip. We learned lots and we had fun doing it. We had an apple of a time!
