Field Trip to Dewberry Farm

Tess’s class went to Dewberry Farm and Clayton and I decided to tag along and be chaperones. We had a really fun day with our little one on her first big field trip. The day started out a little hectic right before we pulled into the farm a truck rear ended us, the damage was minimal more of a nuisance than anything.

We eventually made it to the farm and had a fun filled day. We started by jumping on these large pillows. Tess liked jumping on them but she is so small that everyone jumping around would make her fall and bounce her around.

We jumped for a while and then moved on to various other activities. We took a picture with a school bus, our friend Anthony, and in cow barrels. The cow barrels were really small and the ride was pretty bumpy but the kids really enjoyed the experience. Tess and Anthony are really close friends and hang out at school all the time.

One of the things that we did was this huge slide, of course Clayton volunteered to go up to the top before anyone else did. He sent Tess down the slide and then after all the other kids at gone down, he also went down the slide.

We also visited some animals on the farm, Tess loves all animals even the smelly pigs. She couldn’t see all the animals so I picked her up and was showing her all the different ones. This one goat found his perfect place in of the cement cylinders and wasn’t moving no matter how much you offered him food. The farm also converted an old fire truck to shoot out candy during Halloween for all the kids.

At the end of the day we all took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch and all the kids could pick a pumpkin. Tess found the perfect pumpkin and wouldn’t let it go. We had to get a pumpkin picture with Anthony.

We had good weather for most of the day, by the time it was getting hot we were done with most of the activities and ready to head home. We need to come back on our own to Dewberry farm, but it was a good introduction to the place.
