Feeding the geese...they seemed really full!
Our tour guide, "lady in the red sweater"
and Magus and his classmate feeding the big 'ole turkey!
The "Big 'ole Turkey"
Feeding the chickens...
Learning about how bunnies get their winter coats.
The cows whom Magus was really grossed out by and didnt want to feed them because they stunk so bad and they had tongues longer than his arm!
Magus field buddy, D, not afraid at all...
Preparing for our trip inside the barn to learn about bees.
Magus paying very close attention to the discussion on "pollination."
Amazed by the busy beeeeezzzzz
Magus in the field trying to find a pumpkin. It was very slim pickins....but Magus was more excited about the honey stick that he has in his hand. He LOVED it!
Magus and D with the prize pumpkins they picked!

Magus' kindergarten class showing off the prize pumpkins....



Magus and I went on a field study with his kindergarten class to a really interesting farm. In his class they are learning about insects with the focus on bees. They have learned so much about the body of a bee, lifestyle and there gifts to the world. Magus really loves insects and has found a new respect for all the hard work bees do.
We had lots of fun going to the farm and seeing the chickens, turkeys, geese, horses, cows, bunnies, bees and pumpkins. However, Magus' favorite part was eating the honey sticks...go figure :)
