Apple Orchard with Homeschool Friends


Our weekly home school group went to Dierdorff's Orchard in Waconia to pick apples and have some fall fun.  The kids picked so many apples and then played together for a few hours.  It never ceases to amaze me how much fun this group of kids can have with essentially no toys or playground. A few of the older boys put one older girl and a younger child in wagons and competed in a race against each other.  The younger kids played on the pile of hay for hours.  Big C spent about thirty minutes watching the horses in the field.  They are creative and imaginative with very little 'props'.  Such a neat group of multi-aged children.  Their latest favorite is Capture the Flag -- with teenagers and five year olds playing together.  Big C even sewed up some flags for each team and made ribbons for the kids to wear so people can see who is on which team.  I love it!
