Today we enjoyed our first walking field trip to the Prospect Park Farmer's Market. After enjoying the vibrant illustrations in Lois Ehlert's book, "Eating the Alphabet" we were ready to explore hands on!
Potatoes, pumpkins, beets, leeks! The market was a delight to our senses. We enjoyed a tasting of local, fresh, ripe apples and juicy peaches.
Led by adventure we found the one tree in the park that had sprouted the most vivid fall colors! Sitting underneath the canopy of leaves we sang, "The leaves are falling down!"
All around us were pine cones that had rolled downhill from a nearby pine tree. Our wagon is chock full of pine cone booty!
On our hike back up the hill toward school we spotted a tree with a wide gaping hole filled with pine cones, acorns and leaves. We wondered if it was a squirrels secret hiding spot.
Over the market and through the woods, we spoke of all the many sights we'd seen and tastes we enjoyed. I wonder what adventure tomorrow will bring!
