Havin' fun at Black Island Farm

Today was Devin's first preschool field trip and we had so much fun!Uh oh! I think I might be raising both a cowboy and a cowgirl, a couple of weeks ago we were at IFA getting chicken food and Devin insisted that Katelyn needed some boots too! I have to admit they were too cute to pass up. She loves them and will grab them (and pass on others) when she wants to go outside or if we are going somewhere.
Katelyn loved walking around everywhere and protested loudly when she had go in her stroller or if I tried to hold her. She is getting a lot more independent now that she is walking and running. ( she'll come running back to me if anyone talks to her and sometimes even smiles at her)

We got to take a ride in an open trailer pulled by a tractor. ( Devin was in heaven!) It then made a stop at the pumpkin patch where all the kids got to pick out a pumpkin. Here Devin is raising his hand so that the guy would come cut his off the vine.


Devin's perfect little pumpkin!
I have to admit he definitely wasn't picky he almost picked the first pumpkin that we came to so I convinced him to go over to a spot that had at least 5 or 6 pumpkins to choose from.



For some reason he didn't want me to take his pic with his pumpkin so I quickly took this one. (notice the scuzzy!?) At least he let Ms. Hill get a good pic of him and his pumpkin!



Riding on the trailer.
We also were educated about the farm and I even learned some interesting things about how carrots grow the best in sandy soil the sandier the better. That's how they grow straight, when they have smaller sprouts growing from a larger carrot that means a bug ate some of the carrot when it was first starting to grow ( still edible )





Devin Loved all the slides! I even took Katelyn down on a few she loved it but thought she should be able to climb up herself!






Ridin' the Bull!








Devin our future rodeo star! He kept doing different tricks on this horse and no he never fell off just made me hold my breath!


We saw lots of animals!
Devin was very sweet with Katelyn and made sure that she didn't get her fingers bit and kept telling her "be careful don't let them bite your fingers!"


Fed some goats


Pumped water


Even Katelyn gave it a try




My Favorite animal of the day was this llama it had a funny personality! Check out the one laying down too! they cracked me up. It loved the grass we fed to it but when another family came it was very picky and wouldn't eat their grass!





Say Cheese!!!!!!
