While Genesee still thinks our parents are cool, Mom jumped at the chance to chaperone her 1st grade class field trip to Cain’s Apple Orchard. There, they got to learn all about apples, pick some apples, and even shop at the apple gift store! You’d think they would have come home with apples, but instead my mom found pistachio fudge on the property. Everybody does the apple orchard a little differently, I guess.

After leaving Cain’s Orchard, Genesee and her friends got to eat lunch and play at a Black River Falls playground. But soon after that, it was time to head back to school and Genesee cried when she had to part ways with our mother, who she wouldn’t see again for another 3 full hours. [insert eyeroll] Despite the tears and a few rain drops, it looks like nothing could totally dampen the collective cheer of a bunch of 6 and 7-year-olds on a field trip.
