Julian - Pear Picking

Today we went to Julian to go pear picking. We started out at a winery where we sampled some apple wine and had a picnic under the apple trees. The we headed to Odell's Organic Orchard to pick pears for a change.




Daddy got Samantha her own slab of warm apple pie with cinnamon ice cream.

We got to pet some goats at the orchard. They also sell fresh goat's milk and goat cheese.

Preschool

Samantha loved her first day at preschool! She ran straight to the reading corner and curled up with a book as I left. She has already met several little boys, Pete and Nicholas, but can't remember any girls' names.

Samantha has already observed that the girls like to play in housekeeping and with dolls and the boys like to play with "other stuff", but everyone seems to like story time equally. She can't wait to go back next week.
