On Thursday, I had the pleasure of going with Nate's class to Purina Farms. We had never been, mostly because it's about 40 minutes away. So it was a new St. Louis adventure for us. There are 19 kids in Nate's class and 13 parents went on the field trip. There are some great parents in his class that help out all the time - something I know his teacher appreciates greatly.
Here we are before the trip.
We joined up with some of his friends and off we went (after a 40 minute bus ride with the windows down - don't miss those days!)
Purina Farms has lots of farm animals - cows, pigs, bunnies, chickens, horses, etc...
Nate loved the bunny! I had to break it to him that we would never ever ever have a bunny in our house. Insert very bad experience during my freshman year of college.
Purina Farms also has dogs and cats of course - since they, ya know, make dog & cat food. The dog show they put on was fabulous and Nate loved every minute of it. I'm sure the "I want a dog" conversations will happen more frequently now:)
