Down on the Farm

Ann and I crashed the preschool field trip today and took our boys + Sophie to Tomalchoff Farms.  We couldn't resist the chance to visit this great place again.

Nate started out the day chasing the farm kitty cat.

Then he rode the train, he was very excited about the star stamp that the train conductor gave him.

Next we were off to pick vegetables.

Nate taste tested a carrot out in the field... he didn't like the dirt!

The boys filled their bags full of fresh from the garden veggies... Carrots, Cucumbers, Cilantro all of the ingredients needed to make Uncle Byron's Famous Albondigas Soup.

Favorite part of the day... watching Nate and Charlie hold this baby chick.

(Their Mama's very sneakily snuck the chick out it's cage for their boys to hold!!!)

Our rough and tough little boys were gentle and careful with the tiny bird.

 Sophie picked out this funny looking pumpkin and gave it to Nate...

Nate was very confused and didn't know quite what to make of it.

It was a long day... we left tired, happy, and ready to go home, take naps and dream
