First field trip!

Connor had his first field trip this week. We went to a nearby farm with his preschool class, he loved it!

Class picture..
We went to a tent where a nice lady ready us Spookly The Square Pumpkin.  Clearly all the kids were super excited and interested...
Then it was off to sit inside a silo and watch a quick movie the farm had made that talked about...farming stuff...
After that we got to pet some of the animals.  Goats, chickens, bunnies, etc...they did love that!  But I was in the back and didn't get any pictures.  Then it was our turn for a hayride
to the pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin right off the vine!
We finished up by doing farm chores:
"milking a cow"
mucking a stall with a safety pitch fork
Collecting eggs


Cleaning eggs
Putting eggs in the carton to be sold or to eatten
And finishing up by loading little bales of hay onto a toy tractor and trailer and driving them to this thing, which is a model of the real machine that carries hay up to the top of the barn (this was on the movie we watched, and I spent the whole time thinking 'i bet daddy and uncle dan wish we had one of those!).
A ride on a tire horse, and it was time to go home!  

Good Trip!
