Field trip to Vertuccio Farm

Just before the Thanksgiving break, the first grade class ventured out on a field trip. It was hard to pick which classroom I would chaperone, so, I left that decision up to the teachers. First we loaded the bus which is such a treat for boys whose parents drive them to school everyday!

Vertuccio Farms is the vege stand on Power Road close to our home.

This is called their "pizza farm". Here in this farm they grow all the items to make a delicious pizza. I took lots of pictures of this garden because I know this is what Mark's garden would have looked liked if the chicken's didn't eat it first!

Here is Donivan checking out the goat with his class. He is trying to see if it a boy goat or a girl goat. Since it produces milk, I wonder if he ever figured it out!

The kids LOVED milking the cow, even if it wasn't real!



Then we headed over to the corn maze. That was some corn maze. I even got lost in there!

Then the fun really started as they played in the carnival area!


The carts were so fun to peddle and race

Donivan's little legs barely reached the peddles!

Even Ms. Matthews, Donivan's teacher, got in on the fun!




Of course there was lots of hay to jump on.
OK Donivan, show us some muscles and ring that bell!







Then we ventured over to the pumpkin patch to find the best pumpkin!
How FUN, our very own pumpkin!
So many to choose from . . .

I never knew that they had so many fun things to do behind that farmer's market. In fact when the boys said that we were going to spend 3 hours there, I said "WHAT?" It sure was a fun morning!
