Jack's Field Trip to Red Barn Farm

Well, Jack and I went on his preschool field trip to Red Barn Farm this morning. It was a lot of fun, one of the highlights for Jack was riding on the school bus. He was very anxious this morning that we were going to be late and kept telling me to hurry up. Usually it is the other way around!
Jack enjoyed the first half of the tour led by farmer Gretchen but then lost interest and wanted to shop in the store. He did not care anymore about what pigs are used for, goats, donkeys, he wanted to get a pumpkin and an ornament "and maybe a little toy?"
We managed to sneak away from the group and go to the gift shop and find a John Deere toy and two drinks.....we were a little nervous because the head farmer had given us the rules at the beginning of the tour, and I knew we were breaking the rules....but I needed a Diet Coke, Jack needed a juice box and that John Deere truck!
The hay ride was fun, but not so much fun for my back...man, I'm getting old! Jack was like "where are the freakin pumpkins?"
We loaded back on the bus and headed back for preschool and then Jack was starving! So we went to his favorite place "Noodles" (Ghenghis Khan) and had our little lunch date before Helen was dropped back off. Lots of fun for Mom and Jack :)
pictures to come......
we need to rest this afternoon Jack says because his first soccer game is tonight....Big Game!
