First Field Trip to Russell Farms

Today was Blake's first field trip at his new preschool. All the classes went to Russell Farms for some pumpkin picking, storytelling, animal gazing, exploration and playing! Blake was excited because Jake goes to his school. Luckily their 2 classes were teamed up to travel the farm together - so they had a blast!

I took over 60 pictures and it was hard not to post a lot more - so here's 15 of the cutest.


Jake and Blake waiting somewhat patiently in the parking lot when we first got there.

They were so cute holding hands on the way in - we can use this for blackmail someday at each of their weddings (haha).

Checkin' out the animals (pregnant pigs here).

Blake on the hunt for the great pumpkin.

Success!

Listening to a story.

Jake and Blake playing with tractors in the sand.

Pitchforking the hay - yeah, Blake was lovin' this!

Collecting eggs.

All these little learning stations (including the 2 above) were good teaching tools. Here are Blake and Jake (and Jake's mommy Shannon) putting the bales of hay in the tractor trailers, then unloading them onto the lift and sending them up, up and away.

And of course Blake had to do it by himself too.

These were really cute horse swings made out of tires - Blake loved swinging on it.

Then it was on to the wooden horse - not as much fun as the one that you could swing on though.

And finally a ride around the track on the John Deere.
