Cooper's class went on another field trip today.  This time it was to visit the pumpkin patch.  Cooper said he rode a wagon, walked through corn (maze), saw cows & horses, climbed and picked out the best pumpkin ever!

Visit to the Farm - Part 3

After the corn maze, a picnic, and playing on the playground ~ it was time to see some of the farm animals.

 I can't believe she actually petted one!

 He chased roosters all day long

 if you look close, he has the rooster by the tail feathers.  He was trying to pull a feather out!  He said he wanted to take a feather home for his collection!  Poor rooster

 Reagan fed the goats too ~ will wonders ever cease!!

 he wanted to pet the pigs so badly

 Reagan found some corn to feed the goats

 we went on a nature trail hike

 you can tell a good day by the nap on the way home!  (Reagan was asleep too, but I couldn't get a picture of her)
