The boys first trip was to the barn! The HS where they go to Pre-school has a really god Ag program and the district animal barn is on campus. So the kids studied about farm animals this week and went to see them in real life! Rylan's favorite animals were the cows. We saw about 25 or so cows. We even got to see one cow get a bath! Did you know they even used what looked and smelled like hair spray???
Jacob's favorite animals were the pig. He could hardly wait to get to them. There were about 25 or so pigs. It was neat to see the variations in their colors and patterns. We saw all pink, all black, pink with black spots, pink with gray stripes. Some even oinked, which was thrilling to the kids!
The funniest part was when we walked into the poultry building. There were chickens and turkeys. When we walked in the odor took your breath away...a mix of poo, hay and nasty. The 2 teenagers, Rylan and I were all gagging. The teens even put their sweatshirts over their noses. What does Jacob say? "Ummmmmmmm - what's that good smell?"
This was a great first field trip...next week we are off to the Aquarium!

That's so neat they can take a field trip right on school property. The cows and such I can handle, but those chickens sound nasty. Chick-Fil-A anyone?
Glad y'all had fun!
