Sweet Memories

The day had finally come for Maggie's farm field trip. It was rescheduled after all the rain last week, and she could not wait for the big adventure. Gram had planned to keep Jacob, but she had a getaway planned this week, so Little Boy was in tow. Southern Belle Farm was my favorite kindergarten field trip with Tuttle, and I could not wait to experience it with Maggie, too!

The weather could not have been more perfect! Once the students arrived and ate an early lunch, we broke off into small groups and explored the farm. Maggie paired up with a sweet friend named Frances, and both girls were eager to check out everything. There were new additions since my last visit, and the girls had a blast! 

We immediately started with picking strawberries. Everyone received a small carton to collect the juiciest berries, even Jacob. They were so diligent to pick the biggest and reddest ones. Jacob filled his carton to the top, spilled it, and repeated this process several times. 

We occupied the rest of the morning with a hayride around the farm, learning how to milk a cow, sliding down a massive hill, and jumping on a giant pillow. Right before leaving, we found a "sandbox" filled with corn. While Maggie refuses to actually eat corn, she said her favorite activity was swimming around in it!

I love the sweet memories made at the farm with Maggie. I hope this field trip is offered when Jacob enters kindergarten, as well. Maggie is already looking forward to another field trip this week to Fernbank!
