Jonah's First Field Trip

I joined Jonah and his class for their end of the year field trip to Staheli Farm.  Mr Staheli happens to be their new principal too!  It was a fun day, and I will apologize now for the picture overload (unless you like that...I always like a picture overload).  There were just too many great shots from that day, and I wish I could post them all, but here are my favs.


This train ride was a real hit and Mr. Staheli drove it...

Class Picture!
Here, they planted seeds inside of wet cotton balls and sealed them up in a plastic glove.  They said in a couple of weeks we would have little plants growing inside if we hung them by a window. 
They all had a chance to pet a chicken and a baby chick. 
Jonah loved looking at the chickens.
He discovered a new love, feeding animals.  I couldn't get him to explore anywhere else, or even join the other kids on the swinging rope, he just loved feeding those animals! 

I love this happy face!
I started dreaming of having a farm while we were there.  It was such a fun place!
This little cutie kept escaping and Jonah thought that was pretty funny.

  2. I grew up on a ranch/farm and his happiness there took me back 50 years to feel his love of feeding the animals. I used to spend hours feeding them. My heart was so moved to see him getting to experience this! Love you all so very much!
