Simmons Farm

Marcus had his first school field trip recently. Unfortunately, we didn't have the pleasure of having wonderful fall weather or even Indian summer weather. Nope, it was 45 degrees and raining. Many of the kids in his class bailed but we were determined to have a good time. It might have been cold and wet and covered in mud, but it was certainly fun!

I don't recall being at Simmons Farm in the past. After our group had gathered, we took a hayride past rows and rows of apple trees.

Marcus said one of his favorite parts of the trip was the hayride, but oddly he didn't seem too excited in this photo. There were many activities to do in the pumpkin picking area. Most of them I wasn't too interested in because of the weather. We headed into the pumpkin patch and I was glad Marcus decided on a smallish pumpkin for me to lug around. There was an old firetruck parked nearby that Marcus was all about exploring. There was even a sliding board off the side of the truck!




By the time the tractor came back to get us, Marcus was getting cold. In no time we were back in a warm-ish, dry area drinking apple cider and eating apples. All in all, a pretty good day at the farm.
