Honeypot Hill Orchard

Sonya's preschool organised a field trip to the Honeypot Hill orchards yesterday. It costs $7 per person. The children, teachers and a few parents took the bus while the rest of the parents drove.


We just arrived at the orchard at the parking lot.



This is Natalia. The white bus with the blue strip in the background is the one the children took.


These are children, teachers and parents at Sonya's preschool.


This is Valerie on the right. She is the lead teacher.


This is Francesca.


Sonya is always so curious of what is happening around her, most times she is oblivious to everything else. It won't be surprising if she walks into walls and things.


That is Charlie behind Natalia.


This is Nathan, clinging on to his mum.


And, this is David behind Sonya.



This is Claire whose twin is Sam (not in picture). She had been given the task of holding on to the plastic bags for apple picking later.


This is Riley.


That's Conrad in the middle.


Here comes the haystack ride!



The boy in orange, sitting next to Sonya, is Sam.


And, the girl in the denim jacket is Eva. The ones on the right are Avery and his dad.





Clara was a good girl. She stayed in the Baby Bjorn and slept most of the time.







Valerie handed out a plastic bag each to everyone.


The staff at the orchard explained how to pick the apple correctly so that a new bud will grow next season.


See how all the children are so attentive to what she had to say.





Sonya picked apples and put them in her bag.


Sonya with 2 bags of apples, one is hers and the other is mine.


Everyone is done picking their apples and made their way back for the haystack ride.





This is Keira with her mum, grandmother and little brother.


See how the other children loves eating apples but not Sonya :(


Snack time! Everyone has to clean their hands first.




Karla handed out a paper towel each for the children to place their snacks.




Yummy cider donuts coming!







And, a cup of apple cider.






It is time to visit the farm animals next and the animals need some food too. $0.25 for a handful of feed for the animals.





There was an old tractor on display and the children took turns to climbed on it.






This farm is just perfect for preschoolers as there were all these ramps so that children can get on and off the haystack rides easily.



Another group photo!



The pumpkins were in season too and Sonya picked one to bring home.
