*Field Trips*

Since I became a SAHM, we (my son and I) have decided that we will take 1 fun field trip a week!  This "1 fun field trip" is not written in stone, but is something we do together which we both enjoy, and is out side the normal weekly outings (grocery store, play dates at a friends house, the gym, T@rget, Wal-M@rt, etc).  Whether it be to the bouncy place (a place similar to M@nkey Joes), to the local farm to pick Strawberries, M@nkey Joes, an indoor play place, etc, and sometimes lunch follows our Field Trips.


Honestly, my favorite field trip we go on is to the local farm!   Right now is Strawberry season, and Sylas has completely enjoyed picking them!  We have had to work on not eating them right away and even not eating them off the ground!  Also at this farm there is a little area where they have a couple of pigs, a goat, a sheep, a donkey, and sometimes they have a couple of ducks which swim around in a wheelbarrow!! 


Another Field Trip we have enjoyed is going to the "bouncy place".  This is a picture on the right is of me going down the slide with one of our little buddies!  She wasn't so sure about going down the BIG slide herself, so I went down with her!  There were a few other mom's there with us on this field trip; but I was the one who got in and went down the slide with the kiddos!  And I have to add, this was right less than 2 weeks after having a baby!

These two pictures on the left, are of Sylas and his little cousin MA.  I use the terms "little cousin" lightly, she is only 4 months younger than him, but might be a teeny tiny bit taller than he is~ anyway, these two are going to be trouble together!  They both are little dare devils!  She is the youngest of 4 children, where as Sylas is the oldest of 2!  They
just followed each other everywhere!  The bottom picture is them actually in a bouncy thingy which is for children at least 5 years old!  There was a sign that said something to the extent of "if you can't climb in here by yourself, then you shouldn't get in here".  Well, some other completely random mom PICKED THEM UP and PUT THEM IN!!  Umm.. HELLO... can she read??  Apparently NOT!  Reason being, is that is was like an obstacle course.  I had to climb in after them to help them through a portion of it, and then came to this climb~at the top of there is a huge slide down!  It was much steeper than the slide in the above picture on the right!



Here are a couple pictures from a couple "family field trips"!!
