Field Trip to Mike's Farm

Today I went with Landon and his classmates to their first field trip at Mike's Farm in Beaulaville. Boy did the kids have fun! I have heard so many cool things about Mike's Farm and it was nice to experience firsthand exactly what I have heard. For those of you that have never visited I'll give you a short version of our day. First the kids stopped by the old lady's house where she teaches the kids how clothes were washed and hung to dry and how floors were swept and mopped back when they didn't have all the technology that we do today. Next they went on a haunted hayride where they were able to pick their own pumpkin to take home and ride by the Christmas trees that are growing just in time for the Holiday season. When they got back we headed over to the barn where a man shared with the kids how apple cider was made and the kids were able to taste some fresh apple cider. Still going..........next we headed to Cowboy Earl's stage where we sang and had fun. The kids were able to get on stage and do a little dancing! Landon's entire class ran on up on stage. They were so cute. Of course cowboy Earl wanted some adults next to demonstrate how you play your face. Somehow I ended up on the stage with Mrs. Rowlett and Mrs. Biggs!! (check out earljonesmusicschool.com, scroll down to the youtube videos at the bottom and you will see a demonstration of how you play your face!!!) After singing and taking pictures with Cowboy Earl we checked out the animals on the way back to the picnic tables for lunch. By this time I think the kids were pooped and ready for lunch and a swallow to drink. We all had a great time and I would recommend you take a visit!!
