Today, we went on our first field trip of the year, to Nivens Apple Farm, in Moore, SC. It is an apple orchard/pumpkin patch. They have it set up very nice. They have the orchard where you can pick your own apples, a pumpkin patch, a corn maze, farm animals, a market store, picnic areas, and a play area for the kids, where they can learn interesting facts about pumpkins and apples. It was a little chilly when we got there but, it warmed up nicely after awhile. We enjoyed the hay ride around the farm and they dropped us off in the orchard. The girls got to pick their own apples. They loved that!!! Then we entered the corn maze. We let the girls try to lead us through the maze, and we kept teasing them that we were never going to find our way out. Well, guess what, we did!!! Lauren, was especially interested in the animals. She could have spent all day watching them. Ashley, on the other hand, really enjoyed picking the apples. Before we left we had to get a few items from the market, like apples, pumpkins, fresh cider and homemade apple fritters, yummy!!! We had a very enjoyable time and we plan to go back next year.
One of the many fun things to do...
