On Monday we had the fun experience of taking a field trip to Amy's Farm with our Homeschool group. It was the perfect day too, on a hotter day the lovely smell of the cows would have been stronger! Amy's Farm offers a lot, the kids all got to meet and pet a cow, curry ponies, milk a cow and attempt to feed a pig Arugula they had picked themselves in the garden.( He was more concerned with itching his back than eatting the arugula).
As far as field trips go this one has been our favorite! Monkey 1 said that holding the baby chicks was her favorite and Baby Monkey loved holding the kittens. If there is a local farm near you that offers tours it is a wonderful experience, and a great learning opportunity too!
