Ella had yet another field trip today to Peacock Road Tree Farm. http://www.peacockroadtreefarm.com/ It's really a cool little place. They have all kinda of fun things to do for kids of all ages. There is a petting zoo, train rides to the North Pole to visit Santa, and a gift shop. They even offer places to get married, a snack barn and of course they sell Christmas trees and swags. After checking out the website I see they even have a one room school house.
As soon as we got there the kids took off to meet the animals. The best part was they did a pig race for us. Ella got to go out and "sweep" the pigs to make sure the pigs kept running. These poor pigs were so cold they didn't want to race they just wanted to get back in their house. The farmer actually had to lure them out with marshmallows.
After the animals they got to jump on the train. It was a cute little ride out to meet Santa. We walked into a little cabin and there he was. Unfortunately a few of the kids wanted nothing to do With him. Mine being one of them. :) She asked me if she could just get a candy cane from him and leave.
Up next was the train ride back to the front of the farm where donuts and hot chocolate were waiting for us in the snack barn. After warming up for a few minutes we went off to the gift shop where the kids all made a swag for the classroom. They even got to hang an ornament on a mini swag to bring home.
Even though it was very cold it was a great day. We are looking forward to going back soon.
