When we got there, we all gathered under a tent to learn about how apples grow and the proper way to pick an apple. After we learned our information, we all piled on some wagons and headed out to the apple orchard to pick some apples.

After every one picked their apples and got back on the wagons, we headed out to the pumpkin patch.
After everyone picked pumpkins, we once again piled onto the wagons and headed back to the entrance. When we got to our assigned tent, we found YUMMY donuts and cider waiting for us. They even had enough for us parents to have some too! :-)
After cider and donuts the kids had about 45 minutes for some free play on all of the tons of things to do there other than apples and pumpkins. The plan was to have everyone stay and eat lunch together. But, one of the families we drove there had to unexpectedly leave early (before lunch started). I felt really bad about Marc having to leave early, so after I took the family back to the school to get their car, I took Marc to McDonald's for a special lunch.
We got to Klackles once or twice each year in the fall. It was a lot of fun to see what it was like going with 85 other 1st graders and their families. :-)
