Emergency!

We had 2 awesome pre-k field trips in January! The Police Station and the Fire Station.

(Most the Police Station photos were taken by another mom.)

In a juvenile cell, and an adult cell :/


Shooting range. I'm pretty sure my cutie didn't know what she meant when another mom said to do finger guns.


The vehicles.




My 3rd tour of this Fire Station. It's different every time, but always fun.

Alpaca Farm

Our pre-k field trip to the Breezy Hill Alpaca Farm (Oct). This field trip was one of our best. Upon arrival we found turkeys and peacocks wandering nearby. I didn't let toddler get any closer, and admit I was a little nervous when he reached out as I took this. The farm owner showed us around and told us a little about what they do and about alpacas.


He took us first to the goats, which were a lot of fun to pet.


Then to the alpacas,


which were a lot of fun to feed.




And finally to the chickens and bunnies.


Then we washed up and enjoyed a picnic before heading home.

October Field Trips

Our preschool had 2 field trips in October. A farm and a zoo.

The Farm!
Only 4/6 classmates came to the farm. One was sick and one was potty training.

This big bouncy pillow was one of the first things we did and a huge hit. I thought preschooler was going to want me to come with him, but he didn't.

He'd jump to the other end and run back. I guess since his back was to me I didn't think to record his trip out.


Here are the 4 that came. They had lots of cutouts like these. Our preschooler kept asking to go to the bus, but from far away he didn't realize it was just a cutout and I think he was a little disappointed about that.


They had lots of wooden play equipment like this tractor and fire truck.


They loved this bumpy barrel slide! I love that this pic shows the 3 boys smiling and laughing about it.


As a breastfeeding mom I was oddly excited to show him the pigs that were drinking milk like baby brother.  He's back there telling girls we don't know about it, he's a friendly little guy.


The Zoo!

Lions & Polar Bear

Panamanian Golden Frogs were big brother's favorite 2 years ago during his preschool field trip.


Watching Giraffes while eating lunch.
He'd climb up and play with all of these; and even though I told him they were binoculars he insisted on calling them robot or man.


I took this guy out a couple times, but mostly he snacked and slept.


Getting dizzy in a nest.


Fun in the Maryland Wilderness area.


Brushing a goat.
Roaring like a lion.
