Farm Field Trip

Here are Archer and his buddy, William, on the bus and very excited about going to the Hugo Animal Farm. We had a wonderful time! What a great field trip, especially for the kids who have never really been out of the city. One of Archer's classmates, Jerremeesha, told me on the way home that she had never been to a farm, and now she wants to be a farmer. She loved the piglets.

The farmers told us how they take care of their animals, what kind of chickens lay which kind of eggs (did you know that eggs come in every color in the rainbow?), how often they sheer their sheep, etc. The kids went on a hay ride, took a hike in the woods, and got to hold kittens and puppies that had recently been born in one of the barns. Many of them fell asleep on the way home...what a great day to volunteer at Waite Park School! Yeah for PTA-funded field trips!
