The Apple Barn

Colin has taken his grade two class to the Apple Barn two years in a row. He has always spoken highly of it, as there is an education aspect to it, as opposed to just picking out a pumpkin and being highly over stimulated by various mascots and bands etc.

So this year, I decided that I would plan my first field trip for HCOS. It was great; very educational, and lots of fun. I am looking forward to next year already!
