Colin's First Ever Field Trip

This past fall Colin's class did a trip to Kelkenburg Farm in Akron, NY. I took the day off, so I could go with them. I try to go on a least 1 trip with the kids during the elementary years. I was able to go with Courtney in 6th grade, and Colin to this, so Caden is my next one. He's never been on a field trip yet. I am looking forward to taking one with him as well. AND I am also going to Washington DC with Courtney for her 8th grade class trip this May, both of us are pretty excited about that!  We, as a family love the quanitness of Kelkenburg, so I was really happy that his class decided to go to a Non-commercialized farm so to speak. Ever better that there are only 6 kids in his class too! We got to do a pony ride, see the chickens and other farm animals, as well as pet and hold them too. It was pretty neat to just have Chickens/roosters just walking around the barn like it was nothing. Bunnies were out of the cages, and interacted with the kids and all. Even a goat was wandering! Loved it. After that the kids got to take a horse drawn wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch and pick ANY pumpking they wanted! Colin really had a great time, and it was fun for me to watch him interact with his classmates. Did I mention it was THE coldest day that day?? Oh man, it was freezing, and the first cold day at that!
