Nathan’s 1st Field Trip

Nathan's 1st field trip 032

Today, Nathan was the “Apple of my eye!” We had such a fun time together today at EZ Orchards Farm. Nathan enjoyed his first field trip and getting go on a hay ride, pick out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, pick an apple right off the tree and enjoy a yummy donut and apple cider at the end!

I love being able to be at home so I am able to attend these memorable events. However, I think Nathan will probably remember wearing his boots and running through the mud puddles more than anything else!

Nathan took quite a lot of care in the pumpkin that he chose to bring home. It couldn’t have too much mud on it and he looked them all over to make sure there were no slugs or bugs…like on the first one we saw.

The coolest part of the morning for me was when I prayed with Nathan on the way to EZ Orchards that God would help it not rain till we had finished our time at the farm. Then, after we were all done and heading back to the car I asked Nathan what the coolest part of the morning was. He told me it was “Cool that it didn’t rain.”  I said, “Yep, just like we prayed huh?”  He responded by saying, “YEP! All we had to do was ask HIM.” 

Ahhh…childlike faith. To tell you the truth I was holding my breath the whole morning thinking it would probably rain any second. I guess I have a lot to learn from my son!
