Today was a beautiful day and we had a great time with Allie on her preschool field trip to a local Christmas Tree Farm. Mr. Sun was shining bright today, 70 degrees and sunny on December 2nd is not to bad for a Christmas Tree hunt. The whole fam got to go, so that was special.

Allie loves school, field trips and everything about school but she has been a little nervous to go on this field trip. She was afraid she might get lost in the woods. I assured her she would have fun and that Geoff and I would both be on the field trip so she did not need to worry about getting lost. We got to the "forest" and all of the kids tromped through the woods to find the "perfect" Christmas Tree.
Allie telling Mrs. VanSant she found the perfect tree....
They each got a turn sawing down the tree, and it just so happened that it fell when the last kids made the cut! This is a perfect science created by the teachers..we love the Great Day teachers!!!
Next, they carried the tree back to the truck, which Allie helped with a bit but it was too "poky" after a while so she just walked with Paige and us through the woods.
It was time to feed the animals. There were 2 donkeys, a sheep, goats and chickens. Paige was eye level with one of the sheep when he poked his head through the fence and she said "scared"....."sheep scared me."
Allie fed the donkey and looked at the animals with Paige and then asked what was going to happen next. She told her teacher. "I already enjoyed the animals, now what is next? I am ready for snack". I guess the teachers don't need help when the little task master is on duty!
It is a good thing we had Allie's field trip, because this year we didn't do much "hunting" for the perfect tree...it was more like pull the truck up to Costco, have the workers unwrap a few trees and chose the second one! Now time to decorate!! Tis' the season!!
