Tree Farm Field Trips

Georgia's best friend, Angela, and her husband, Matt, have a tree farm here in Augusta. They provide field trips to interested schools. Georgia helps with each trip which means that Kamdyn and Jacob get to go, too. Kamdyn always talks about Mr. Matt, who drives the tractor. She also talks about going on a hayride and seeing the kids. Well, I decided to schedule a field trip for our PreK classes to see what all the fuss was about. Kamdyn was so surprised to see me there. The field trip was wonderful! We learned how the trees are grown, kept, shaped, replanted, etc. Then, we took a fabulous hayride around the tree farm to look at all of the different trees. Last, we were served hot chocolate, popcorn, and the children were each given a coloring book and a candy cane. The children had a great time and it is definitely a trip that we will go on again.

As for Kamdyn, here she is enjoying her time at the Tree Farm. Mr. Matt says, "Whoa, mule," each time that he stops the tractor. Of course, Kamdyn now says it, too. Kamdyn also has learned many Christmas songs this year from her hayrides and can sing a few of them well enough so you know exactly what she is singing. Her favorite time to sing these songs at the top of her lungs are when she is in the shopping cart at the grocery store. Her favorites include Jingle Bells, Santa Baby, Rudolph, and Frosty.
