Field Trip to Bakerwoods
Yesterday I went on my first field trip with my son Tyler and his kindergarten class. I actually had a great time and enjoyed being able to spend time with Tyler and see how he does with his class mates. Where we went was called Bakerwoods and they are located right in our town of Ashford Connecticut.
What it is is a very well kept farm and around the pond you will see in the next picture they have nature trails.
All along the nature trail there are little gnome’s with clues. The clues are small items like a lantern or keys or maybe a clock. What the kids have to do is try to find the items and check them off on the list where they can claim a prize afterwards.
After the nature trail and the gnomes clue search which they called it “Eye Spy” the kids had their snacks and then we all got to visit with all the animals. They had everything from a Rooster to a Peacock.
But I think Tyler’s favorite and mine was the pet Turkey that wondered around free and did nothing but strut and gobble. That was really cool and I had to remind Tyler as well as myself that we could not take it home.
As you can see we got pretty close.
It was a great day and a great time spent. That is what it is all about and I am glad I got to spend it with Tyler.

Looks like you guys had a fun day. That is a beautiful turkey. Just keep telling yourself that you’ll get one like that next year.

Looks like a great day Rick. I can’t wait to be able to do that with my daughter. If only she would hurry up and be born.

Kristine, it was a fun. I was glad I was able to do that.
Arthur, your turn is coming trust me. Word of advice though, take lots of pictures and spend as much time with them as you can because before you know it the time has past.
