My Book Tie-Ins of the Week:
If you have children that want to know where food comes from, How Did That Get in My Lunchbox? The Story of Food by Chris Butterworth is the book for you.
It highlights were all the food comes from in a child’s lunch. Foods like apple juice, chocolate chip cookies, bread, and tomotoes are covered.
JDaniel is very big into asking why and where right now. He loves to know all the steps it takes to make something and where exactly it comes from.
What did we do?
Field Trip to an Apple Orchard
We drove out to Nivens Farm about twenty minutes from our house. It was a cloudy day and the weather was cool and comfortable.
The trees were bursting with apples that hung low enough for JDaniel to pick them.
He loved twisting the apples off and putting them in his bucket.
My husband would be so proud of us. We washed of the apple JDaniel sampled from the bucket before he ate it. This handwashing station was the perfect height for him.
While JDaniel snacked, we wandered through the pumpkins.
When he finished his apple, we wandered around in the corn maze. We both loved the purple flowers that were growing right beside the corn.
After the maze walk, JDaniel needed to rest for a moment. This tube was the perfect spot to sit down and hang out for awhile.
