Fall field trips

Fall is in full swing and after a few days of dreary rain the weather has been beautiful the pas week.  The beautiful weather was just in time for both Chase and Leah’s fall field trips.  Chase’s class ventured to Hardy Berry Farm.



They were first to go on the hayride where they learned about strawberries and pumpkins. 


Then the kids were let loose on the playground.  There was sand, swings, teeter totters, and other fun equipment….


All the kids favorite place was the jumping pillow… 



   

It would be awesome to have one of those in your back yard!  After jumping the kindergarten class wanted to test their skills in the corn maze.  We didn’t want to loose anyone so we decided to do it as a group. 



Sadly or navigating skills were a little off and we ended up back at the beginning not once, not twice, but three times and after the third time we decided to exit through the entrance.  The kids didn’t know any better and still loved going through the corn. Once we excited (out the entrance :)) the kids took off for the giant slide...





It was pretty tall but not as fast as it looks.  Chase’s teacher even took a turn going down. 



Chase had a great time with his class on the farm.  The following Monday, Leah had her fall field trip to Callaham Orchard. 


First the kids got to feed the goats.  Leah was very hesitant and didn't like the idea of a goat licking food out of her hand but she did come around and pet the goats.



They also went on a hayride and learned all about chickens, strawberries, different plants, poison ivy, and how pumpkins grow.  Leah enjoyed singing songs on the ride and sitting with her friend Elody.


They taught the kids how to milk a cow.


and then they got to play some games including a bean bag toss, and a water rubber duck race.  Leah really enjoyed the morning with her friends and seeing the farm.  Fall is such a fun time of year!
