So today was Farm Field Day. This time of year the local farm & the FFA kids invite all the county 4th graders to the farm. Where they learn about the many things that come from a farm. Like; did you know it takes 2-5 yrs to make a pizza? That bees only live for 6 weeks? That dirt is a word your Mom made up? Well now ya do and so do hundreds of 4th graders. They really have a great program out there. They have involved many different people to pull it off and it's gotten bigger each year. I believe the kids had a great time. You decide.
Pizza at a farm?
It Works when ya break it down into all the diff. ingredients.
It's not dirt! Call it silt or soil not dirt (remember we Mom's made that one up).
A sheep. Do y'all know what comes from a sheep? (Think about it)
These two miniature horses belonged to Youngests best friends Grandparents. One was sold to this farm. Her BF helped raise them & The Youngest spent some time with them also.
What a great day at the farm. Even Mom learned some things. One of the best things I saw was a sign hanging in one of the barns. I wish I had gotten a picture, but this is what it said:
"Our Family Works Like Helen B. Happy"
Let me know if you get it. The other Mom's with me didn't. I think we all can agree with this sign. :-)!

What a great idea! My kids love seeing a farm. It is somewhat sad that they have to visit for a field trip, and our parents lived on one. Man do times change.
Erin,
This doesn't have anything to do with the farm pictures, although they are very fun. I also read the "Last Lecture". I really enjoyed it. I was somewhat relieved to find that I was already doing many of the things that he suggested. In this case, it did take a rocket scientist to figure out that family is important-more important than anything else. I'm glad that our family learned that lesson before it was too late. I liked his saying that if you are living the way you should-your dreams will come to you. Let me know what you are reading next.
Love,
Pam
Thank you for filling me in on what the sign said! It was a fun field trip. Very well done.
