John Grayson's First Field Trip

Thursday was a big day in the Schmitt household---John Grayson's first school field trip!! We went to the Maymont Children's Farm and had a wonderful time. Who knew that a group of 12 kids under the age of 3 could be so well behaved?!

We saw lots of animals, including pigs, chickens, peacocks (although J Gray was convinced they were "cock a doodle doo's"), goats, sheep, cows, and horses. We know it was a successful day because no one lost a finger while feeding a goat :-)

I love petting the animals!

Coolest of all was the new Bald Eagle exhibit. I'm not sure if J Gray actually saw the bird but he thought it was fun nonetheless (or at least Mommy thought so).

I'm almost as big as the Bald Eagle!

We did a lot of walking, including a march up a big hill to have lunch. J Gray was one of the few kids to walk the entire time (props to Mommy for "forgetting" the stroller), and the final result was a very tired little boy who slept for 3 hours this afternoon.

Yay for Field Trips!!!!
