Field Trip

Just me and my biggest boy were able to spend some quality time together on his school field trip today!  We went to Southern Belle Farm for an educational day on the farm.  We have been many times before, but today Aiden and I both learned a lot.  We had a lesson on bees and honey, on cows and milk, on strawberries, and we enjoyed a tour ride around the farm.  The kids also got to jump on the big yellow pillow and ride on a cow train.  I loved getting to hang out with this big kid this morning!

 

 

Aiden's favorite part was the cow train ride.  He rode in the very back, and of course he wanted to know how fast they were going on the ride.  When we talked about all the things we learned, he remembered all the numbers;

weight of a cow = 1500 lbs
food intake of a cow = 100 lbs per day
water intake of a cow = 50 gallons per day
milk produced by a cow = 8 gallons per day
amount of Bees in hive = 20,000
strawberry plants at the farm = 90,000
blueberry plants at the farm = 1000
