Thursday, Luke's preschool class took a field trip to the local farm/pumpkin patch. He has been so excited to go, and I was so glad I could go along as a chaperone. We had another little boy ride with us, and Luke was thrilled to have a friend in the car. This farm is only about 10 minutes from our house, if that, and during the summer months, they have wonderful homemade ice cream too.
Some of the boys from his class. He has seven boys and seven girls in class. It was a really cold morning too. I think it was 41 when we arrived.

These are all of the pumpkins set aside for school trips.
We saw a lot of cows.
It was a beautiful morning.

This farm did a great job with the kids. They had an animal "show" in which the different animals were brought out and discussed. This is the farmer, and to introduce the next animal, he had all the kids sing, "Old MacDonald had a farm.." It was really cute, and the kids loved the animals. He is holding the chicken.
Sheep
Goat-This goat was SO cute!
Pig-This little pig couldn't stop squealing. The kids loved it so much, and it was a really cute pig.
Then, we were taken outside to see the larger animals who couldn't be part of the show. This ox was really sweet. The farmer said it weighed over 2200 lbs.
Waiting for food
The ox was fed lettuce, and the kids thought it was funny he liked to eat salad.

Finally, it was time for lunch. Luke didn't waste any time.

Luke's class-These are some very four-year-olds, and it was really nice to go on this field trip with them.
Harry's Uncle John would have been so proud to see the belted galloway cow (the one with the white stripe around the middle). Those are the cows he raised... well now the cows Russ raises. Looks like a great trip!
