Today was Nina’s first school field trip. The Kindergarten classes went to Great Country Farm together today. It was an all day field trip (even though Kindergarten is only half-day), and Lyla and I came along to spend the day with the kids. We were pretty wiped out after the day, but we had a good time, and I now have a new appreciation for Kindergarten teachers!
The Kindergarten kids all have matching tie-dye t-shirts. We did have to find one for Lyla also. Last week she became obsessed with the shirts, and thankfully we got a used one from someone in the neighborhood (whose kid had worn it in Kindergarten). Up until yesterday, she had worn it three days straight, but on Saturday she came across a Mater t-shirt, and that is her new favorite and what she wore today as to not be confused with the “real” kindergarteners.
We got a lesson on the life cycle of a pumpkin and an apple. We learned there were over 7,500 varieties of apples, and I loved the chant she had the kids shouting when remembering something important about the apple. It was, “EAT THE PEEL!”
After the pumpkin and apple lesson it was time to feed the goats and sheep. I love Lyla’s face after the goat ate the food out of her hand. She was laughing to hard because the goat’s tongue tickled her hand.
Then it was time for the tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch where we all got to pick our own pumpkin to take back.
After lunch, the kids had some time to play on the big bouncing pillow, then it was time to head back home. The girls came home tired and muddy, but they had a good time today.
