Visit to orchard – Dale and Nancy Hanaman enjoyed a trip to Deal’s Orchard with their niece Syndey Bardurian and her daughter Esme from Des Moines. Esme enjoyed jumping on the trampoline and exploring “Apple Acres” while the adults followed and enjoyed apple cider slushies. Esme wanted to meet the “farmer” when they arrived and as they were ready to leave, Jerry Deal drove by in a golf cart and made Esme’s day.
