Barnyard Field Trip

Last Wednesday (the 26th), Abby's class took a trip to the Barnyard! I got to be a driver, and had a loud van full of girls. And Barbies :)

Abby is lucky to have such a good group of girls in her class!

Circle time so we can start feeding the animals!

Abby was a little hesitant at first, but then loved feeding the animals.

Especially the goats!

Besties.

Animal bestie.

My 6-going-on-16-year old :(

Jonesy wanted Abby to be very careful with the baby bird!

Bunnies are always a favorite.

A new addition to the Barnyard: a rat.

Who came up with that idea?!?!?!?? SO GROSS.

Blonde buddies

The piglets were SO cute!

Abby's class - great group of kids!

Playground fun

Feeding the ducks

Waiting their turn on the boat

Only girls allowed!

 We had a lunch break at the picnic tables, and Abby opted to not sit with me. Instead, she sat a few tables down, with Jonesy, Boston, and Tanner.....later, I found out that Tanner gave her a bag of chips which is what convinced her. She's a cheap date! :)

After lunch, it was time to leave the petting zoo behind, and take a hayride to the upper farm. Lots of fun activities up there!!

 The main attraction was this new thing, called the Jumping Pillow. It's basically a mix of a trampoline and a bounce house. SO COOL!

 The kids had so much fun jumping, that a few of the moms that were chaperoning (including myself), hopped on for a few minutes. It was SO fun!! I will spare you those pictures :)

Abby is a pro now!

She finally let me sneak in a few of the pictures! :)

Erin, Abby, Indya

Sweet 1st grade girls!

(Well, most of the time they are sweet :)

"Milking" a cow

(Water came out instead of milk; the kids thought it was hilarious!)

We were having a potty break, and as we were waiting for everyone to finish,

I look over and see this. The class was "building a fire" together :)

Playground fun

Goofballs!

My girl :)

The whole class buried Louie in the corn crib. He loved it!

What a great day and great field trip. Abby was not the best-behaved (we had a few "Come to Jesus" moments), but all in all I enjoyed being with her. I know the moments where she actually wants me around are fleeting, so I will take what I can get :)
