What I love most about homeschooling is having time to do those small things that bring so much happiness and contentment. On Monday, instead of going to Halliday Park, we visited an apple orchard owned by a homeschool family. There were eight other families there, half of whom we didn't know very well. Within minutes all the children were having a wonderful time either picking apples, patting rabbits or playing hide and seek.
First we found a magnificent spider busy wrapping a bee in silk for her dinner.
Then we headed off down the orchard of 800 apple trees to pick some fruit.
When everyone had picked enough the children organised themselves to chop and juice the apples, while the adults looked on impatient for a taste!
Then it was time to eat and relax in the sunshine.
It was a fantastic day. The girls said they'd like to go there everyday and I quite agree.
