Today, Mary Grace's Kindergarten class visited Honeysuckle Hill Farm in Springfield. This was the first field trip this year and the kids had a blast! The day started with a bus ride to Springfield. This was Mary Grace's first time to ride a school bus. She was so excited! Jason and I, Carolyne, and my mom (Nana) were happy to be able to go along on the trip. Of course, we followed along in our car, although Carolyne would have loved to be on the "big yellow bus" with the big kids. The field trip started with a short lesson on how pumpkins are grown. The kids were amazed! Next we checked out all of the farm animals... pigs, donkeys, goats, cows, horses, chickens and even the farm dog named Trigger. They really enjoyed the booth that simulated the process of milking a cow. The girls were able to sit on a crate and "milk" a wooden cow. Carolyne got a big kick out of the water squirting out of the "utters". I think we went to that cow booth at least
three times. We then took a short hay ride around the farm and finished the morning off in the corn maze and corn pit. What a sight to see... 21 Kindergarten students and their siblings knee deep in a pit of dried corn. They LOVED it! All of the classes took a short break for a picnic lunch and then headed to watch the pig races. We ended the day playing on the slides, swings, and seesaws, and then walking down to the field to pick out our very own pumpkins. What a GREAT day! Mary Grace had so much fun with her friends and really enjoyed her very first school trip. Carolyne had tons of fun too and is already saying that she can't wait until her Kindergarten trip to the pumpkin patch. A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Seigenthaler and all of the Indian Lake Kindergarten teachers for organizing such a fun fall adventure for the kids. We had a blast!
