The 1st Grade Trip of Fields...From Slides to Roosters

Okay so I have been really slack on my blogging, but in my defense, I...and then we....and I couldn't....and so....yup that sums up the last few days. However, one thing that I did manage to catch on film was Elijah's first grade field trip. The entire first grade class from Bancroft Elementary had the opportunity to go to the Griffin Family Farms. It is a working farm where kids can come check it out and see what goes into running a farm. Elijah had a lot of fun seeing the roosters, roostering (is that what they do?) the cows, cowing (you know, in their spare time) and all the other animals animaling on the farm.

I think the funniest thing about the farm was Debbie (who's daughter is also in first grade) and I got lost...thanks Debbie, the adventure was fun and even talking to the Mexican, while stopped at the light, to ask for directions, who couldn't speak English was even great! And then second, our tour guide (ya, I tour guide for a farm..."these are ducks, you city kids have never seen a duck before"...seriously) was from Brooklyn and about the crankiest person...EVER!!! Why, WHY, would you be a tour guide at a farm for kids when you hate kids and you hate farms? Hmmm... Anyway at least the pictures are cute!
