Last week Granny, Jack and I went with Addison Marshall on his first school field trip to Landmark Park. They had been studying farm animals all week so the kids were really excited to go see some up close. They got to see goats, pigs, sheep, chickens, cows, and mules and they were even allowed to pet them (if the animals came close enough to the fence).
They explained some of the mule-driven farm equipment and had grown some crops for the kids to learn about, like sugar cane, cotton and peanuts. Marshall even got to pick a few peanuts himself since its peanut harvest time right now.
They also had lots of really old buildings (100+ years) for the kids to walk through. Marshall was really fascinated with the out-house. Thankfully, it is no longer a "working" out-house...
After snack-time the kids got to play at the park part of Landmark Park. There was a really cool rope swing that kind of worked like a zip-cord (thanks to my mom and Sam's mom for helping the kids with this one - they were probably both sore the next day!) and an old-fashioned tire swing (this is a picture of Marshall and his friend Galvin swinging on it).
The kids had a great time. In case you needed evidence, this is a picture of Marshall walking with his teacher, Mrs LeighAnn after the tour. He was telling her all about the stuff he had just seen and learned. It was very cute. :)
This is a picture of Mrs. LeighAnn's class. I am still amazed that she was able to get all the kids to stand together long enough for the parents to get a picture!
