The advantage of being a Kindergartener is the huge amount of field trips you get to go on. This field trip was to UBC Farm (University of British Columbia). The kids started off with talking with their guide about farms and what they did. Then, he read them a story about how a pumpkin seed becomes a pumpkin. Then the kids got to play in some soil, and then some compost and were able to see the difference in the two (it was definitely a learning experience for me too!!). Next we had a short hike through a wooded area, identifying plants and trees. Then we headed to see some cows behind an electrical fence. Finally we ended up with the chickens, which the kids loved!! After the farm we ate lunch by the beach and the kids played in the sand, and then ended up in the water :)!!!! Ty once again had a great time and enjoyed every minute!!
Our guide, Jacob, explaining the farm (let me just add right here for LOST fans--once Jeff heard that his name was Jacob, Jeff couldn't help but make LOST references the whole time. Then when we went into the woods, Jeff said, "if he leads us to a run down cabin, I'm out of here!!!" I have such a funny husband!! Never a dull moment with him :)
