Ben's first field trip!

 Ben's preschool class went to Oxbow farm.  What an awesome place for a field trip!!  It was a gorgeous day too...so it was a wonderful morning spent with my little guy!  The kids went around the 23 acre farm with Farmer Dana and got a chance to eat an apple, carrot, purple cauliflower, bean, grapes, tomatoes & rhubarb (although I'm sure I'm missing other veggies) - straight off the garden!  What a fantastic way to teach them about how food grows!!   
 The kids going to dig out their carrot!
  Ben pulled out 3 carrots!
 Look at this gigantic carrot!  He was in heaven...he almost ate the entire thing!


 Inside the "creepy tepee" - made from bean stalks!  They got a little lesson about the importance of worms...and then got to hold them!  What fun!
 Of course, we couldn't leave the farm without sitting on the tractor!

 Brooke came along for the ride...she did pretty well seeing that she completely missed her morning nap.  She just rolls with the punches.  We love her for that!!
