A trip to the farm

Today we went on a field trip with our homeschool group to a farm, over an hour up north. Several weeks ago, Diego asked me if we could go to a real farm sometime to see the animals and all the things that go on there so I was so excited when this field trip was announced. We left home at 9am for our drive.



We were rushed this morning to get out the door and Alexia really, really wanted to wear this so I figured the cows and chickens wouldn't mind if she wasn't matching. :)



The little calves were so adorable drinking milk from their bottles



Diego and his buddy, James petting the goats



We saw a long cow milking demonstration and it was so interesting and the kids loved it!



Diego and James loved this water duck race track. They pumped the water out with all their strength...



...and the ducks raced down the tracks. So fun!


We left the farm around 1:15pm to make it to gymnastics by 3pm. I told Diego that we could skip gymnastics if he was too tired, but he insisted that he had enough energy to go. Marco fell asleep in the car and had been asleep for about 25 minutes when he was rudely awoken by his big sister. She was so tired and cranky and her screaming tantrum woke him up. So yes, super baby did it again. He was out and about all day long, snoozed for that 25 minutes and was as happy as can be the rest of the time. I should probably mention that in order for him to remain happy with such a lack of sleep, he wants to be held all the time, but that is fine by me :)


After gymnastics we came home for some strawberries, a long bath for everyone, dinner and then bed time. Marco was zonked out by 6:30!
