Natalie's Field TripToday was Natalie's field trip to the farm. I was lucky enough to be one of 4 parents chosen (out of 12) to attend the class trip. It was a teaching farm located in Corbett. The lady who runs the farm was like a drill Sargent, which can be great when you are trying to keep the kids in line, not so great when her condescending manner spills over to the parents. All in all it was fun though. The rain held off until we were inside and even then, it was only for about 15 minutes. We got to see goats, chickens, geese, ducks, sheep, horses, a donkey, a cow a huge pig and the biggest rabbit I've ever seen. I had 6 kids in my group and together we learned all kinds of things about the animals. Natalie was her usual bashful self and didn't want to go too close to the animals...not even close enough for a picture, so most of my photos have other kids in them, which I'm sure the other mommies who didn't get to go will love to have.
Zander's Field TripZander's preschool field trip to the farm was last Thursday. We went to a local farm here in Boring. All the kids got to see sheep, chickens, pigs and baby chicks. They even got to pot their own plants, a zinnia and a tomato plant. Then the kids all sat down and snacked on animal crackers and milk. It was a fun day. I feel so lucky that I get to attend these field trips with our kids. It really gives me a chance to spend time with the kids individually. It also helps get to know the other parents, teachers and the kids in their classes.

Man, your kid's school go on a lot of field trips. Hunter has only had one. That was to a pumpkin patch. I'm glad that you could go on both. What a blessing!
So glad it didn't rain on ya!
