Harvest Time

On Sunday, October 24, the International Students and their host families were invited to Paul and Marsha Plaxton's cabin in Oak Glen in the foothills for a picnic and to pick apples from their orchard.

The largest group is the Indians who are studying for their Masters in Physical Therapy.

They guessed how much each pumpkin weighed...
(42 and 29 pounds)
did some country line dancing...

Tried eating apples from a string (the guy in the middle won).

Picked apples...

I've never seen an apple tree so loaded with fruit!
We were each given a small bag to fill.
Some went home with only half a bag.
Were they trying to be polite? Or don't they like apples?
My bag was FULL!

Pressed apple cider...(delicious!)

Took a parting photo in the orchard...(over 46 students came)

This is the good sport who took photo after photo with everyone's camera.

Everyone had a WoNdErFuL time.
