Down on the Farm

Sierra went on another field trip with her preschool class. We went to a farm. She was super excited about being able to see all the animals. She and I, rode with her friend Caitlyn and Caitlyn's mommy.



This field trip was with the whole school, so everyone was split up into 4 groups. First we went to make butter. All the kids got to churn the butter churn until, ta da...Butter! Then the helper lady put the butter on crackers for all of us to taste.



Look Ma, butter!

After that we went to the barn and the kids got to plant corn in a little cup of dirt. And then make stamps with a brand and a horseshoe.



Then for the really fun part, we got to go see the cutest kids. No not children, but rather furry four legged kids. There were a bunch of baby goats. The children got to go in the pen, feed the goats and pet them. This was Sierra's favorite part of the field trip, and mine too.

Sierra also got to stick a corn on the cob in this corn detacher thingy (yes that is the correct term for it, didn't you know?!). Then she ground the kernels into grain.



When we were done there, our last fun thing was a ride in the cart that was pulled by two mules. We got to ride around and see all the fields of alfalfa that the farmer has planted.

This was, I think, the last field trip of the year for Sierra. It was a fun day.
