Farm Fun

Kae's preschool class took a field trip to a farm on Tuesday. Mommy, Daddy and Izee joined in on the fun. We all had a great time!

While everyone was arriving Daddy & Kae climbed on the giant hay pile.


Once everyone arrived we took a hay ride around the farm. There wasn't any actual hay in our hay ride but we rode in a large wagon with benches that was pulled by a tractor.


We stopped in a lot of different fields to pick veggies. First we stopped in the potato field. The farmer had already plowed the field so we didn't really have to dig the potatoes out of the dirt, we just had to pick them up off the ground.

Next we stopped at the carrot field. Again the farmer helped us by loosening the dirt. We did pull the carrots out of the ground but only after the farmer loosened the dirt with a shovel.

We also picked watermelon,

squash,

cabbage,

onions,

and, of course, pumpkins.

After the veggie gathering trip, we said "hi" to the animals before we headed home.

It was a great farm trip! Last year the farm we went to had a pumpkin stand but you couldn't actually go out in the field or get any other veggies. Kae had a great time gathering all the vegetables and seeing the farm where they grow. It was so much fun that I think we may have to take an annual trip to this farm.
