Cohen's first field trip - down on the farm

Today was Cohen's first field trip!! He was soo excited and so was I when I found out it was on a Wednesday so I could volunteer and go along :) I left the girls with our favorite baby sitter and headed up to Cohen's school. When I arrived they were doing some coloring waiting for all of the volunteers to arrive. Then his teacher gave the parents a sheet of paper with directions and a couple of names of students that would be riding with them. I had a van of boys! They were definitely boys!! The entire ride to the farm was making farting noises and seeing what crazy faces they could make at each other :)
          When we arrived at Mary's Critters we hopped out of the car and immediately were welcomed with smells of the farm. All of my boys just kept saying "Eww - it stinks" or "Look that animal is pooping." :) Mrs. Mary led the kids all over her farm and introduced us to all of her animals. I was amazed at how well the animals would listen to her. She would call them by name and they would come running to the fence and let all the kids pet them. After they met all the animals, Mrs. Mary gave each kid a cup of feed and they got to pick whatever animals they wanted to feed. It was cute to watch these kids stick out their hands with the feed and watch the animals eat off of them. Cohen gave a little to each animal rather quickly because he was anxious for the next part - riding the horses!!! He was a natural on that horse :) Some of the other kids however were a little more timid but I think all had fun. So here are a few pics of our day!!
