In the past two months our homeschool group has had two fun field trips~
In August, we visited
J&K Farley Farms to pick grapes. The kids love picking their own grapes, and the prices are awesome! Each of the kids was able to fill a cardboard box for just $2.
They also have a small petting zoo there, with the normal farm animals ~ cow, donkey, goats, pig...
...oh, yeah, and an
emu!! The kids were frightened of it at first, but gradually got closer and closer until they were actually petting it... I mantained a respectful distance, myself.
Then, last month, we went on a field trip to the zoo. Our group decided to do the guided tour, and I was a little worried that my kids would be bored by it. Luckily, I was totally wrong about that, and they had a great time.
I was able to relax while she led the kids around the zoo and pointed out interesting things to them. They were able to get up close to this owl, and also chatted for quite a while with zoo employee at the reptile house who showed them a snake and answered all their questions.
Later this month, we will be visiting the pumpkin patch. I always make my kids take lots of pictures there, so I'm sure I'll post about that when it happens!
