Johnny Appleseed

Johnny Appleseed
the man who supplied much of the United States
with apple trees.
Many people believe he was a fictional character
but he was real....born September 26, 1774.
His real name was John Chapman
I believe you can guess how he got the name
Johnny Appleseed.
To celebrate this man and the fruit he loved so dearly
the kindergarten had apple immersion all week
which ended with a whirlwind tour of an apple orchard
17 out of 17 kindergarteners say the BEST part of the trip was riding the school bus
it was many of the kiddos first time on a bus......and they LOVED it

I vote for a trailer pulled by a tractor any day

off we went on a winding, hilly tour of the orchard

a bucket of chilled apples awaited

After the tour there was plenty of fun to be had

a super duper extra large sunflower maze they all eventually found their way out

a little apple education

the importance of bees and pollenation

and how healthy apples are.....LOADED with vitamin C and fiber

for those of you who need extra fiber...you know who you are....eat apples !!

Really...the extra bubbly and cute apple lady said so...wish I had a pic of her....she was adorable.

wish we had parachutes to play with when I was a wee one

it was all I could do not to get in there with them

oh to be a kid again

now go eat an apple

have a happy day
