Orn and I were able to take advantage of our flexibility over at the university and BOTH go along with Hans's class for their first fieldtrip of the year. What fun! It was a very brisk morning, but beautiful just the same. The farm was located about a 20 minute drive outside of St. Cloud - right in the middle of Lake Wobegon country. Gorgeous!
I think Hans enjoyed having both Mom and Dad along. It was especially good that Orn was along since this farm specialized in fruit production and Orn is the fruit fiend of the house (followed closely by Hans). They both enjoyed the opportunity to pick grapes, raspberries, and apples and eat as they pleased. Hans also enjoyed the fact that his buddies who are in different 1st grade classrooms were also along with their classes for this particular field trip. He got to hang out with old friends like Evan and Matthew, along with Richard (who is in his class).
The farm had created a maze in a corn field which was a lot of fun to attempt to get through. It seemed as though Hans and Richard (and thus me, Orn, and Carolyn -Richard's mom) spent the entire 'maze-time' on one end of the maze, but it was still a lot of fun! All the kids got to pick a mini pumpkin or gourd to bring home - Hans was especially proud of his pick
