Kicking off FALL 2010 - Class Field Trip to High Hill Farm


Last week Cornie's preschool class had a field trip to High Hill Farm to kick off the Autumn season. It was a crisp and chilly fall morning that turned into a day filled with lots of fun for all of the kids, parents and teachers.
We had a brief tour of the farm, meeting and even petting a few of the animals: calves, goats, bunnies, sheep, and even peacocks. One of the cows just had her calf a couple of days ago and we had a chance to see it.
After the farm tour, we were off on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. What a treat to have a real cowboy on a horse, as a tour guide, leading the way. He explained the crops High Hill produced and how many cattle they cared for.

Once we reached the pumpkin patch, we each got to search and pick out our pumpkins. We visited the orchards and picked out some apples. On our hay ride back to the barn, we got to munch on them. The apples were very crisp, sweet and juicy!
The class ended the morning having lunch together; giving us parents a chance to gab. Afterwards, the kids kept busy playing on the huge display tractors or running around the hay maze.





What a fun day!
