Apple Barn Farm and more Fall Fun!

It's so great when we can spend a fun day with friends and incorporate a school field trip in!
One of our favourite places to visit in the fall is the Apple Barn farm and this year we went for Jaxon's friend Danny's birthday! It tied in nicely with our fall studies as we saw lots of different fall colours all around us. We also picked out pumpkins to take home!




We painted our pumpkins this year instead of carving them- much more kid friendly! I taped a design or face on the pumpkin so once dry we peeled away the tape to reveal the picture.



We baked some yummy pumpkin donuts!

Jaxon coloured on coffee filters with markers then used an eye dropper to put water on and watch the colours blend together. Once they were dry we hung them on the window.



Experimenting with baking soda and coloured vinegar. We watched as the colours blended together to make new colours while the baking soda and vinegar fizzed and bubbled. This was a favourite activity we must have done more than 10 times!



We did a nature scavenger hunt outside as a family. Jaxon looked at the pictures on the sheet then he used the camera to take pictures of the items he found.



Jaxon wanted to help write out the grocery shopping list, he told me the word he wanted to write, I told the letters one at a time and here was the result!

We had an afternoon of crafting with Jaxon's Grandma making Christmas gifts for his uncle who currently lives in China.



Another trip to the library looking for dinosaur books


Jaxon started his skating class and loves it!
