Farm Field Trip!

All the kindergarten classes at Annlee's school went to a farm yesterday for their field trip. They got to ride a school bus, which was the most appealing part of the trip for Annlee. She couldn't wait to get on the yellow bus! On the way home, though, she said the bus was hot and dirty and she was squished. She learned that the bus isn't all worth all the hype!

When we got there, we went on a hayride and the kids learned about farming and got to pick a pumpkin to take home with them.

We then went to the petting zoo section and the kids learned interesting things about the animals. Did you know that donkeys can hear sounds up to 3 miles away? And chickens have more bones in their necks than giraffes?

Then the kids got to feed the sheep out of their hands.

And they could crank this thing that sent a bowl of corn up to goats that were on a roof of a little building. Those goats would go crazy trying to get at those bowls of corn!

After that, we broke up into small groups and got to spend some time doing other activities that the farm offered. They had a spook trail, a corn maze, a playground, pony rides, a corn cannon, rubber duck races, and a cow train. My group, which was Annlee and two of her friends, picked the pony ride and cow train, then we had time for one quick slide on the playground.

Then it was time for a picnic lunch and the drive home. The kids were worn out, but they all seemed to have a great time!
