Our Latest Field Trip

Mountain View Orchards

Jemison, AL

 

Here we picked the best tasting apples that we've had in a long time.

As my son says, "It's like candy, but it's healthy."

 

They were excited to go picking

very excited



I'm trying to condition her... I WILL take pictures, it's inevitable.

The Fuji Team

We loaded the basket pretty well



After the orchard, I had this brilliant idea.

Let's follow the brown sign on the interstate that reads,

"Brierfield Ironworks State Park"

I mean, if they have a sign for it on the interstate,

it has to be close, right?!?

Um. No!

That is incorrect.

But, we had a good time there,

and saw a part of Alabama that we wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Maybe the reason the park doesn't charge much, is because their employee doesn't demand much.

 

The covered bridge.  I let my friend go first, just to make sure it would hold us. ;)

And of course, they found the playground right away!

Part of the furnace

We don't know why this is Jake's tree, and we forgot to ask.

 Info on the furnace:

He found this really cool rock while we were taking a walk.

And doesn't that just represent the south. :)
