Our field trip this week took us to the Ventura County Agriculture Museum! While it may not sound all that interesting, it actually was fascinating! We all learned things about the county in which we live, and the kids especially enjoyed the interactive aspects!
After learning what the top ten crops are in the county (strawberries, avocados, and lemons are the top three!), the docent took time to talk to the kids about plants and how we eat different parts of the plant, depending on what plant it is! Faith was our model plant!
The kids were all able to go outside and plant their own seeds to take home! Since it was 100 degrees outside of the museum yesterday, we didn't stay outside too long!
There were many old tractors in the museum, and the kids were able to sit on one of them!
Farmer Shane is using a pulley to lift hay from the ground to the upper level of a barn!
All the kids were able to take a turn sitting on this pretend horse!
Shane is such a good brother! He made sure to help Olivia with anything that she needed, and kept her focused while listening to the different talks.
