Farm Field Trip

Sugar Bear went on her very last 4K field trip.  Not only was it the last field trip for Sugar Bear it is the farms last season to open to the schools.  So when I went I thought she would be coming here in Kindergarten too, but I guess not.  I am glad she was able to go and I am glad I got to go with her. 

How about that cute shirt that I whipped up at 9:30 the night before?  

Here is her cute little class of girls and her teacher.  I guess this would have been a better picture if I would not have made them look into the sun.  But when you have 6 excited girls that barely sit still you get what you can. 

Her first stop on the field trip was to this old house.  The kids sat and listened about how things were done in the old days.  They learned about out houses, a water pump and how they stayed warm and cool.  Sugar Bear said they had no electricablity, she could not say electricity.

 She got to wash on the wash board and then ring the wash cloth out in the roller.

Then she got to try the pump.  I can't even get the girls to pick up there toys I could only imagine making  them pump their own water. 

Next it was off to the General Store.

 They sat and listened to the way they used to shop.  

Then what would a school field trip be without a little school time.  

The kids got to practice writing on the chalkboard.  I know Sugar bear is thankful for paper.

  She did not like using the chalk and little board at all.  She thinks chalk is only used on the driveway. 

After a little "school time" is was time for a  little recess.  They got to play on the equipment while the other class rode on the hay ride.

Finally the hay ride.

  I was not planing on riding but I asked Sugar Bear if she wanted me to go and of course she said yes. 

But I am glad I did because I got some really cute pictures.

The Barn...this was the really fun part. 

She first sat and listened to the Farmer talk about the animals.  He was teaching them all about the horses. 

This little guy was his subject.

Even though this little guy was as sweet as he could be Sugar Bear was still a little scared to feed him. 

After feeding the horses she put on some gloves and was off to feed a few more animals. 

This was a Chinese Chicken.  She went pet him and when she did he moved his head.  She jumped back and looked at me and said "HE TRIED TO BITE ME".  

Sugar Bear was pretty sad that she could not feed this little guy.  He really was cute and he looked like he REALLY wanted to be fed.  He was pawing at his food bowl like a dog.  But unfortunately he has to eat special baby food and he can't eat to much or he will get sick.  So the kids were not allowed to feed him. 

And before we left we ate a quick lunch.  Yummy pb&j without the crust and chips. 

 And then a picture just to prove I was there.
