Autumn in the Country

Jaxton's PreK preschool class had a field trip to a place in Garrett, IN called Autumn in the Country. It was a farm that opens up to the public at fall time for hay rides, pumpkin patches, corn mazes, apple cider, and tours to see the animals. It was a lot of fun, again, being able to come be with Jaxton, just him and me.

Here they are watching how apple cider is made. The lady took about 25 apples and squeezed them in this old fashioned squeezer. 25 apples only made a small amount of cider. It was a lot of fun to see the apples actually drip into cider. There were bees everywhere that apparently liked apple cider!!

We took a hayride through the cornfields and around the pumpkin patch. Then, Mrs. Kruse got to pick out one pumpkin to take back to her classroom. The kids helped her by pointing out the biggest, roundest, ripest, orangest pumpkins they could find!! Then the owner of the farm cut the pumpkin off the vine and sent it home with us!

They had a real live corn maze. It was fun walking in the tall corn and getting lost for a while in it. Jaxton was just loving every minute being with his school friends. Afterward, they even created a corn maze out of hay bales inside a barn. So the kids got to run around inside there to figure out the way out. It was really a lot of fun!!
