Terry's Berries

Hannah's class took a field trip yesterday to a local organic farm. I was really grumbling the night before about having to go, but we had a great time.

Hannah and Ben with some of Hannah's friends from school. 

Someone bumped Ben and he was not happy.

First the kids got to take a hayride to the other side of the farm.

Ben only made it halfway. He stood up and had to be carried the rest of the trip.

When the truck stopped, the kids each got to dig for carrots. Then we went to another area and picked apples. 

Then we ate some raspberries off their bushes. Then we gathered lettuce and broccoli to feed to the chickens.

Teacher Nancy helped Hannah hold it so the chickens could eat it.

Then we saw turkeys!

Ben had a hard time walking so much, but he was a trooper. I only carried him about half the time. When he got bored, he'd stop and play in the mud.

Then we went to look for pumpkins.

The farmer said the kids could have any pumpkin they could carry. They couldn't manage this one.

So Hannah picked this one. I know she looks miserable in this picture, but she was actually really happy about her pumpkin. When we got home, I asked her if she wanted to decorate it or eat it. She chose eat it, so we're still trying to decide on what to put it in.

This is all the food we got, brought home and washed.

She ate an apple first thing when she got home. It was one good apple!

Side note: In baby-related news, I'm pretty sure my water broke this morning. I'll keep you updated.
