Annabel's class had a field trip today to an orchard just near us called Wiard's Orchard. Thay had a blast with a hay ride, petting zoo, picking their own apples and pumpkin, as well as fresh apple cider and donuts. We were lucky with the weather too as just last night there were three tornadoes in Michigan... Look how cute Annabel and her pal Emilie are! Emilie is nearly six, and her mum is really tall.... :)

Here is Connor with Bernie ( our lovely neighbour who came to helo me chase him) meeting a Llama
