First Field Trip

I love my daughter. She is so smart. We recently joined a group of moms doing a preschool co-op kind of thing and to be honest, it's the best thing that's happened for us in a long time. I was doing school all by myself and while we were doing okay, it just wasn't what I was hoping for. It was also really difficult.

Katelyn and Evie - best friends!

Joseph loves tractors!

Then my best friend mentioned a curriculum book that I fell in love with and found some other moms to join us in home preschooling all together. It's been a fantastic experience.

"i've found it, I think."

"which one, which one, they're all so great!"

"this one, mom"

Well after a couple months we had our first official preschool field trip. We'd just finished colors and it's now October so we all went to a place called Willard Farms. It reminded me of a school field trip I did when I was in grade school back in Spokane.

"just one sweetie!"

Joseph and his pumkin!

Well this farm had tractor rides, a pumpkin patch, a giant slide area, swings that looked like horses, a bouncy platform, and a cow train. It was great!!!!

Yes, cows linked together in a train

The kids loved it. It was super inexpensive too because we got a deal for being a "school group" and the "students" little brother/sister just had to pay for the pumpkin they picked out as opposed to the whole price. We paid a total of 10$ for the whole morning. We ended all the fun with a picnic lunch at the table. It was a blast and my heart totally melted watching my kids doing such big-kid things. What a wonderful opportunity. I'm so glad we all got together to do this.
