Mother Nature's Farm




Zach had his first Field Trip, April 19. He went to Mother Nature's Farm in Gilbert. Cannon and I got to tag along as chaperons! I can't say I really was helpful, chasing Cannon everywhere, but the kids had fun! They were given the option to feed the cow, sheep and goats, but were told not to feed the pigs (they are pigs, after all, and don't care if they nibble a finger or not). Zach was not interested in feeding them, but just watched. The sheep just had babies right before Easter. The little lambs were so cute, but were camera shy, so you'll just have to take our word on it! Then the kids got to go on a hay ride, which was actually just sitting on a trailer pulled by a tractor. My allergies were grateful for the lack of hay! We saw a few jack rabbits on the ride, which was the highlight. The owners have made a maze out of hay that the kids had a blast getting lost in! We enjoyed a picnic lunch and then headed back to school! It was a perfect field trip for a bunch kids from kindergarten!
