Farm Field Trip

Today Tyler and I joined the rest of his classmates and their parents on the last field trip of the preschool year. However, we almost didn't go. This morning Tyler said his tummy was still hurting. It started hurting last night. But he was more than determined that he wanted to go and meet his class at the farm. He was most excited about the chance to dig for worms. LOL
Despite him being a little under the weather, he did pretty good. It was probably due to the many things we saw and did at the farm to get his mind off his sore belly.

The first thing the class learned about was how bees work hard to make honey. The viewed the bees in their wooden hive. After the bees, it was time to dig for those worms. Tyler dug up two which he was pretty proud of. Then the children went into the garden area where they actually planted seeds and learned about other plants. They saw and smelled various types of mint growing, which was pretty cool to them. Llamas, donkeys, and birds were next, followed by the goats. This was the same farm that Tyler had his party, so we were already familiar with some of the animals. Oh and we can't forget the chickens. Tyler loves his chickens. LOL The kids went into the chicken coop and they each had a turn petting a chicken.
Then it was back to the goats where the kids had a chance to go into the pen with them and pet the goats if they wanted to. After this Tyler joined his classmates in the play area where they remained until it was time to head on home.The children thoroughly enjoyed their last field trip together as a class, even Tyler who wasn't completely feeling that great. Right now, he is fast asleep on the sofa beside me. He had some diarrhea this afternoon. Hopefully he will feel all better tomorrow.
Steve Update: He is now in Montevideo, Uruguay. Although busy with work, including attending a reception tonight, he hopes to get some time off tomorrow afternoon and perhaps grab a cache.
