Neil's fieldtrip

Neil didn't have a single field trip in first grade. After having four in kindergarten it was a real bummer. As you can imagine he was super excited to have a field trip scheduled this last week. We went to the Alden Lane Nursery here in town. We had never been there before, but I loved it! I will be taking my family back again for sure.

The first activity was to take a hayride behind this old tractor. The kids were in heaven!

 

We visited the Pomegranate area as well as the working bee hives.

The kids got to learn about the life cycle of growing pumpkins and they also got to plant their own sweet peas.

It's hard to see, but in the picture above is a huge real owl. We got to learn a lot about owls which was pretty fun.

The nursery had little fairy gardens set up all over. So cute.

Choosing pumpkins from the
"patch".

Yay for 2nd grade field trips!
