Field Trip #4: Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead & Clay Cafe

Experiencing old water pumps!

I had the pleasurable experience of baiting the hook with live worms...
...so that Ben could fish!
(Syd wanted to have nothing to do with the worms and fishing!)



Now, to feed the baby goats!
Ben has quite a love for animals and the great outdoors!

Sydney, again, chose not to participate, until I held the bottle. Then she put her finger on the end of the bottle to "help"me! (Ben is working on his photography skills!)


Got Milk?!











Ben is panning for gold! Or mining for gems! Or just looking for treasures.









After Sydney watched Ben uncover beautiful gems, she decided that she wanted to participate in this activity!
She took off with great determination...
...and success!



Cooling off and Rinsing Feet before departure!

Clay Cafe pictures are here!!


Ben chose a dragon to paint, and Sydney chose a flower!








Sydney painted with great concentration....














...and so did Ben!!






As Ben was painting, he paused for a moment and said, "Oh! I'm just stressing about what color to make the wings!" I gave a few suggestions, none of which were any good apparently. Then he looked up at me, smiled, and walked over to the racks of paint. He, joyfully, came back to the table with the gold bottle of paint!

Sydney was proud of her work!

(She painted 95% of the flower, and I helped about 5%! )

It was another great Monday!

Then we went home and took naps before dinner!

I love the pictures! What good photographers you have in your "group of three"! Looks like a really neat day - and what good memories you're creating...for all of you! Can you print off these blogs now and then so you can save them and make a memory book for the kidlets?
Love, Moi
