Agricultural Awareness...

Well, I seem to be having issues viewing the pictures on my blog, and quite frankly, it makes it tricky to organize the post, so since I am a few days behind on all the wonderful activities we have been doing, I will blog without pics, and try to add them later :) Yeah! it's fixed!!

What we have been up to...

Friday Sept. 7th.

We spent the morning with a bunch of families from the homeschool group, enjoying an Agricultural Awareness program put on by a fall fair organization. The kids got to make their way around 10 different "booths" and learn about the animal or organization presented right from the owners themselves. The booths consisted of Alpacas, Sheep, Birdseed, Disease Prevention, Bees, Water Conservation, Cows, Rabbits, Goats and Farm Safety.
The amount of information each person gave was incredible, and the kids got to spend about 10 -15 min at each location trying out hands on material and asking as many questions as they would like.
We rounded out the morning with free pizza and chocolate milk and then made our way inside to check out the exhibits.
Inside, Aislinn and Tara were astounded by the full height of the corn (pics to come) and enjoyed smelling the hay exhibits, comparing the ears of corn and laughing at the largest/smallest vegetable entries. They would make great 4H'ers-- to bad we don't live in the country!
