Collin's class went on their first field trip of the year last week. It was a great morning. Legare was able to hang out with friends in her class so that Collin and I could go on our own (we don't get to do that very often anymore).
So, it was off to a little known place right here in Jacksonville. They have a great set-up, perfect for a group of 4 and 5-year-olds. While we waited the children really enjoyed looking at the pigs, chickens, goats and cows. Then it was time to start our adventure with a hay ride.
It took us all the way back in time, to a little old western style town (more like a ghost town). Collin thought it was so cool that when our guide asked for volunteers, without saying what they were volunteering for, Collin was the first to raise his hand.
He quickly changed his mind when he realized he was going to have to put his head and hands in the stocks.
After a quick tour it was back to the main building to pan for gems. After some specific instructions Collin was ready to go.
A lot of sand and water later, he had his loot and was quite proud of himself.
So, to celebrate this new profession we went to, none other than, "Old McDonald" for lunch. Panning makes one work up quite an appetite.
When it was all over, Collin decided that it would be well worth a return trip, with Daddy :)
