| About a month ago, I went along with Vincent's kindergarten class to Showalter's Orchard in Timberville for a field trip. Here Vincent is with his teacher, Mr. Dayton, filling a basket full of apples, like the workers do. |

| Remainder of apples after pressing for cider. These are fed to pigs. |
 |
| Pressing apples for juice/cider. |
 |
| Pig slop...! |
 |
| Scavenging for pumpkins. |
 |
| 'Twas a fun experience, albeit freezing cold. Yes, we even saw snow flurries, which unfortunately meant that it was too cold for a picnic lunch outside at the orchard, as had been planned. So I kissed Vincent goodbye, and he returned to school to eat lunch with his class, and I went home to bid Martin good-bye for his 12 day trip to Albania and Kosovo. |

We remember visiting the Showalter Orchard the year we lived in Virginia. They had a family/community day one Saturday.
The apples look so crisp, fresh and yummy! I can just taste the apple cider. Did you get a taste on your field trip, Vincent?
