Homeschool Fieldtrip

A local corn maize was having homeschool day recently so we joined some friends for a day of fun. They broke us up into two groups: 4 and under and K-5th grade. I went with Emily’s group so I didn’t get a lot of pics of Ellie until we met up at the playground. Emily got to plant corn

Go on a hayride, visit the chickens, collect wooden eggs (she had no idea they weren’t real),

feed the goats, collect fake veggies and once she turned in and sorted all of her eggs, fruits and veggies they paid her $2 and she was able to go pick out a pumkin for $2. It was such a cute process!!DSC02941 DSC02946

Ellie’s group went to a small lecture all about corn and the farm, went through the big corn maize, went on a hay ride and finished up with the animals. After we were done we played on their really cool playground. The tree house was the biggest hit.

I wanted to get a picture of the girls together….just one….but it seems impossible to get both of the girls to look at the camera and smile at the same time and this is what I kept getting:DSC02986 DSC02987 DSC02988 DSC02989 DSC02992 DSC02993

I think I will appreciate these goof ball pictures more in the years to come!! Man, I love these cuties!!!!!

I thought the pictures were so cute and they seemed to be having a ball. It's really great they have places like that and even greater that you take them to enjoy it. I loved the part about the wooden eggs and they will never forget things like that. Keep up the good work and i am so lucky to have two cuties like that as Grand daughters.
