Sholz Farm

Isaac had his first field trip with his preschool! We went to Sholz farm which is a pumpkin patch with animals and a greenhouse. It has a little corn maze and a  little shop to buy fresh veggies, and popcorn, pumpkins....really cool!  The nice part was that siblings were allowed to come with us so Gary got to go too!

Isaac's class at the beginning of the tour

Isaac and his teacher Mrs. Shawna

Chickens

The gourd shed. Our "tour guide" is teaching them how farmers would dry out the gourds and then use them for stuff like water bottles, spoons and bowls.

Cows

Isaac randomly thew out the fact that the more grass cows eat the more milk they make and the lady was so impressed that he knew that. Isaac then got embarrassed and gave her a hug, because that's what he does when he gets shy/embarrassed.

She is telling them that they need to be SUPER quiet because the sheep just had babies last night.

Twin lambs born around midnight!

Isaac (red hood) and Gary (green and blue hood)

Here she is teaching them about what it was like to be a farmers wife way back before electricity

Learning about the Greenhouse


Goats. She's telling them how goats like to climb on their tip toes which is why they have a huge tower in their little area

After the tour the kids got to pick out a pumpkin!

Class (plus some) after the tour

They had this play area for the kids to play in. Which consisted of a HUGE pile of sawdust and tractors, cars, a little playhouse a toddler friendly putt putt golf course...lots of fun


The "hay pile" was the biggest hit!

It was so fun to be able to go and to take Gary along! The boys did really well and everyone listened and I think learned at least 1 thing! 
Yay School!!
