Ethan's Field Trip

A few weeks ago Ethan had a field trip to Green Meadows petting zoo at Joe Pool lake.  I was suprised that Ethan had a field trip so early in the year.  We had a great time even though the forecast called for a day full of rain.  It only rained on us a couple of times and of course the kids thought it was fun.  

Going on a hay ride.

Ethan and Mommy right before a downpour of rain.

We saw a little show where the farmer talked about all of the different animals.  Of course the kids didn't really listen since it was raining on us.

Checking out some baby pigs.

Milking a cow.  I'm pretty sure he was the only one who asked for gloves.  Of course they didn't have any.  I had to talk him into doing it without them.  He is SO his father's kid.  ;-)

His buddy Brock.

He also didn't enjoy some of the stinky areas.  He would never survive on a farm!

They all enjoyed petting the horses.

They tried to pet chickens but that was a lost cause.  Those poor chickens get chased by kids daily...

We took a quick break for lunch.

His 3rd grade class.  You can't tell but it was actually raining in this pic.

Before we left the kids were able to pick out a pumpkin to take home.  I took one for Caleb too.  :-)  This was one of my favorite field trips!  Nothing like the nightmare of the 1st grade trip when I had to keep up with a group of kids at the museum.  Yikes!
