We took a school bus to the
apple orchard. It was long, but fun.
When we got to the apple
orchard we learned the rules. Then we
got to ride on a tractor. It had no
benches or railings. We had to sit in
the middle of the tractor and sit crisscross applesauce. We had to keep our hands and feet in the
car.
We went up a hill very slowly
and came down a little bit faster. It
felt like we might fall backwards, but nobody did!
When we got to the orchard we
met Lenny. He came from Jamaica. He taught us how to pick apples. We had to lift, twist and then pull. We picked lots of apples. Every person had their own bag.
At the very end we learned
how they make apple cider. There was a
machine with cranks on it to make apple cider.
We got to drink some apple cider.
It was really tasty.
It was fun going to the apple
orchard!
