CJ's Dairy Fieldtrip

Snells Preschool went on a field trip to a local dairy. CJ was so excited! It was the first thing he told people- even before he said hi "I get to go on a bus to a cow farm and see a baby cow!". The day of the field trip he jumped out of bed and rushed to get ready so we could go. He checked with me 3 times to make sure i paid for the trip and that i "put my name on the paper saying he could go". He jumped and danced in the line as we waited to board the big yellow school bus. When we got in and sat down he was so excited because there was no seat belts. (I mean how exciting is that?!?) When we got to the dairy he smelled the stinky cows, and looked like he might want to change his mind about wanting to get off the bus, but as soon as he heard a moo in the background he promptly forgot about the smell.
The kids got to pet a baby cow that was born just the day before. Most kids practically climbed over each other to touch the calf, not CJ, he was happy to stand about 3 feet from it and just look. He didn't want to touch it, either because he didn't want to put down his camera, or the calf was dirty, I'm not sure...

CJ loved learning about what the farmers feed the cows and he liked playing in the dried corn kernels. He could have played in the huge pile all day!

CJ wanted a picture of us from his very first time on a school bus... a very exciting day for sure.
