I was able to chaperone Tuttle's kindergarten field trip this past Friday, and we had the best time! We visited Southern Belle Farm in McDonough and learned all about various jobs on the farm.
After eating lunch as soon as they arrived, the class loaded up on a hayride to travel to various stations around the farm. Our first stop was picking strawberries!
Each child was able to find their own ripe strawberries and fill a pint size box with fruit to take home. We even sneaked a few strawberries to eat right off the plants. They were absolutely delicious!
Next we headed to watch a milking demonstration on a cow. The farm was named about the cow we met in the barn. Since Tuttle practically lives on milk, it was interesting to learn how it gets to our refrigerator. :)
Our next stop was to visit the farm animals, including a goat with the longest beard (Tuttle's favorite!). We also saw horses, chickens, and a baby lamb. Those animals are so patient to endure loud kindergartners all day!
After a presentation on honeybees with a real bee keeper's suit, the kids finished our field trip with a stop at the jumping pillow. This was a HUGE hit with all the kids and allowed them to get out any energy before loading the buses for the long trek back to school.
I enjoyed every second of the field trip to Southern Belle Farm. Tuttle is part of such a sweet class, and I loved seeing him interact with his buddies. This special day will definitely be a memory neither Tuttle nor I will soon forget. :)
