On Weds. Skylar went on her first field trip with school. They went to Bauman farms and I got to go with her!
We had to take the bus 30 minutes to get there. I forgot how uncomfortable buses were, but Skylar loved being able to ride on a big bus.
As soon as we got there we all went into a covered area and had lunch. Which most of the kids didn't eat because they were so excited and just wanted to run around.
First thing we did was see how apple cider was made.
The kids really liked watching the chopped up apples being pressed down and all the juices coming out. For me, it made me not want to drink it. Ahhh, the differences of kids and adults.
Once we saw the whole process we got to each have a little cup. It was delicious, even after seeing how it was made.
Next we got to go on a hay ride around the farm and then go pick our pumpkins.
They had pumpkins gourds and decorative corn strategically placed in rows in the corn fields and each child got to pick one of each to take home with them. Even the parents that went got to pick out pumpkins.
Once all the kids were back on the wagon we went to a hay maze. The kids went wild for it! The only way to get out of it was to go down a big slide. And for any of you who know Skylar she is not to keen on big slides. So I was a little worried. But like a Super BIG Girl she went down it and was very proud of herself!
You can't go to a farm without a little petting zoo action, so that was next. There were pigs.
And there were goats. the kids got to feed the goats if they wanted, which of course they all did. there were even little baby goats.
I just wanted to put one in my back pack and take one home....and then i smelled them and changed my mind.
And after that was all done it was time to go home. It was a fun day. Skylar had so much fun that when we got home she passed out in the chair. what a day!
