Strawberry Patch Field Trip

Today Colby had his 1st kindergarten field trip! It was actually his first field trip since he was 3! He's been so excited about it! They went to Mrs. Heather's Strawberry Patch in Albany, LA. We have always talked about going but never have so I was glad to make the trip over there! We wanted to make it a family thing so Austin took off and we brought Lindsay. We felt like she would really enjoy it as well. We won't always take her on his trips but I figured this would be a fun one to do all together. The kids took a bus and we just followed them in the van. Austin's parents also met us there which was fun! They haven't seen the kids in awhile. It actually really helped having 4 adults there!
So when we first go there we went straight to picking strawberries. Lindsay LOVED this! Colby liked it ok at first but his interest didn't last long b/c he was ready to go play! We picked half a flat and then I took the kids over to the animals and play area. There was tons for them to do! Lindsay mostly just wanted to swing. Colby ran around and did basically everything. It was easy dealing with him. I had to follow Lindsay around though. She warmed up to some of the playground things you could climb on and played there for quite awhile. I really didn't get to visit with many of the other moms but maybe a few really briefly b/c it was so spread out and all the kids just moved around so much! Around 11:30 we decided to stop and take a break to eat lunch. It was nice to sit and relax for a bit. Around this time Lindsay acted really tired and I wondered how she would make it through 2 more hours but she ended up hanging in there. She went back to the swings for quite awhile. I left her with mawmaw and pawpaw for awhile so I could hang out with Austin and Colby. By about 12:30 I was worn out and ready to go. I found a table in the shade with his parents. Lindsay sat there and mostly ate strawberries. Colby also joined in for awhile. Pawpaw walked the kids around a little bit more after that but then thankfully at 1:15 they started loading the kids on the bus! It was a great field trip though! On the drive home Lindsay ofcourse sacked out! We followed the bus back to the school then checked Colby out early. I hope we can go back to this place maybe even this season. We had SO much fun and the strawberries were so yummy! The kids also really enjoyed themselves! It was a fun and great day!
