Barnyard Days

We enjoyed a field trip today to Phillipsburg H.S. for Barnyard Days! The agricultural students set up and run the day. They had different areas set up with all different animals, plants, flowers and tractors for the children to learn about. It was very nicely done and all the kids really seemed to enjoy it! Carter was able to pet a duck named Pork Chop and a baby goat named Tinkerbell. Carter declared that both Pork Chop and Tinkerbell were very soft and nice to touch!

Carter and Jacob were the only two children able to attend from their class and liked having Miss Jackie and Mrs. McAtee all to themselves. I love this below picture of Miss Jackie and Carter!

Mrs. McAtee takes charge of the boys as they head to the hear about the next animal.

Brian took a half day per Carter's request and the two of them spent time together. Carter seemed thrilled that Brian was one of the few Dads that was there.

Even though he was interested with the animals, Carter just couldn't hold his concentration until we visited the tractor station. He could barely control the ants in his pants.....as the tractors tempted him, he tried to sneak off early to see them a few times! Finally he and Jacob made it front and center and got a good look. Guess what?....There was a tractor "just like Poppy's" there. This station proved to be the favorite!

At the end Carter enjoyed some homemade ice cream....also a favorite!
