Field Trip to Agua Linda Farm

For Abbies preschool field trip we went to Agua Linda Farm down south of Tucson.  It was a lovely fun day! Thanks to all who made it happen!

After a short intro to what a farm is for and why they are important, we all got on the hay trailer pulled by this awesome green tractor, and we went for a ride to see their farm land.

It was a little windy, but beautiful!  

They dropped us all off in the middle of a field where the kids got to pick Fava beans!  The kids were in HEAVEN!

Abby was a pro! 

I like to think I taught her how to pick stuff! ;)

They even got to go in the hen's house and gather eggs!

This guy was very friendly.  Hehehhe!

Isn't she beautiful?  Even more than these flowers! We had a fun day with our friends!

Preschool Update

My turn to teach preschool!!  Our theme was careers this time.  For our field trip we went to the Postal History Foundation:  http://www.postalhistoryfoundation.org/.  The kids had a great time!  They started by reading the kids an adorable book about a postal worker trying to deliver mail to a farm where the cow tried to scare the worker.  It was super silly...I wish I could remember the name of it.

Then they had a bunch of activities/crafts set up for the kids all to do with stamps.  I never would have guessed how much fun the kids could have picking and sorting through thousands of stamps. There were some really neat ones!  

Then to end things they gave the kids a tour of a little postal room that was from one of the foundational postal offices here in AZ a long long time ago.  The highlight was when they got to put on one of the post officer's hats and carry their very heavy satchel! 

Wildlife Museum Preschool Field Trip

For one of our field trips we went to a wildlife museum.  It was pretty cool!

This room was quite scary to Joey.  A little scary to me even! So he sat on the couch just like this for most of the time we were in this room. 

The whole preschool crew: Noah, Kinsey, Ada, Hunter, Abby & Kyle.

They had a fun tunnel for the kids to play in.

They luckily had a nice little dining area and a library area at the end of the museum. So we had a picnic lunch and let the kids play a little.  It was a really nice museum.  Perfect length with MUCH to see. I would recommend it to any family or preschool group!

Field Trip to the Children's Museum

For Abbies first preschool field trip we went to the Children's Museum.  The kids had a GREAT time!  So much to play with and do, and it's nice and A/C'd, so us parents were happy!  :)

Abby can barely stand a tiny hangnail on herself...but she loves seeing other people's "owees"...so maybe an M.D. would work for her...??   :) 

Dr. Omer...it actually does have a ring to it doesn't it?  

This was the train room tunnel.  If you look all the way through you'll see Ada & Joey too.  :)

This was in the Animal Vet section.  Funny how my little puppies fit in those cages so well!  ;)

Voila- Chef Abigail!

I think Joey would have sat in the submarine driver seat all day!  

We barely missed their foam craft time... bumma.  But the kids had fun coloring in the art section.

After lunch, we attacked the last little section with the firetruck and police motorcycle in it!  Joey was all over it!

And this was a rarity...no other kids climbing all over each other and the seat!!  

Goin for a ride....

Until Abby lost her driver....

Yes, Joey's true future profession....a STUNT MAN!  He constantly wanted up on this thing, but insisted on climbing up and sitting at the very top!  LOL

So, second picture now of Abby sitting behind a boy on a motorcycle...I hope this isn't foreshadowing.  It probably is.  Uh-oh!
