The whole Bachman clan took the day off for Ryebread's first field trip. Destination - Milbourne Orchards. They have all sorts of fruit trees/patches - apple, peach, blueberry and raspberry. They have a petting farm with goats, pigs, cows and other four-legged friends and they do hay (straw) rides and bonfires and anything else related to autumn fun.
Our first stop was the hay ride. Rye actually did really well (he's usually not so keen on moving objects that don't have him strapped into a car seat) and was taking in the scenery, playing with the straw and at one point realized there was a really big tractor pulling us along (you'll see the look of surprise below).
Then it was onto the petting farm. Rye got to oink with some pigs and cluck with some hens and even got to pet a baby goat and feed some of the bigger goats. He had a blast with the animals and had a sound for every one of them.
Finally, we got to pick apples (Ryebread and Daddy searched out the biggest apples they could find) and pumpkins to take home. Although, Rye tried to snag one of the bigger pumpkins, it was a little to heavy.
All in all, it was a great first field trip.
