Today was a fun day! I loaded up the 4 boys, and we headed over to a local fruit farm to pick apples, blackberries, play and get the chance to observe beekeeping in action! The apple picking was fun. It's always such a challenge to not pick too many apples! The trees had so many on them!
It was very hot! Thankfully, between the stroller and the wagon, the youngest two stayed in good spirits. Samuel was my big helper when I needed a hand getting them up the hills.
We enjoyed the playground!
Next we were able to take a tour of the beehives! We even got to ride on a trailer pulled by a truck. Some of my boys found this more fascinating than the bees! :-)
Our guide showed us one of the many hives, then he opened it up, and showed us the bees inside. It was pretty cool!
We also got to watch him scraping the wax off of the honey, and then the boys got to watch him process the honey. They even got to taste it! The guide was so friendly and open to Samuel's barrage of questions! I love Sam's eager desire to learn, and I'm always so happy when folks take the time to listen to him talk away and address his many questions.
Blackberry Cheek!
Shorty! :-)
Farmer Sam!
Whew! Sweaty, wiped out, apple eating chums.
