Today I got to go on a field trip with Quinn and Ella's first grade classes. We went to the Urquhart Tree Farm and it was alot of fun except for the little bit of rain and a longer than expected wait for the buses. It is a beautiful mostly Christmas Tree farm tucked back on a small dirt road, and we got to learn a little bit about the trees, then took a wagon ride through many acres (not sure how many, but it was about a 10 minute tractor ride) to the sheep farm. They raise sheep mostly for fun, but also for the wool, and since it is spring, they had probably 30 or so lambs, black and white, that were grazing in a pasture along side a pond and small creek. Really pretty, and the kids seemed to really enjoy themselves. I like living in town, but could really see why someone would want to live in the country with a place like that. Quinn didn't really care for me taking pictures, and since it was raining I didn't get too many, and they really don't do the place justice, but here's a few...
