School Trip

Lucy's preschool went on a class trip to an orchard near Ames.  All four preschool classes I know of have gone on a trip to the same place, so it seems they cater to the little ones.  I didn't get to go because I was working :( so Eric took her.  It was a COLD day.

Eric tells me the day started with an arctic tractor ride, where everyone sat still on frozen bales of hay.  The tractor went up and over hills (Iowa hills, but still out in the open with the whipping plains wind) and the kids were all shivering by the time the ride was over.

Most of the pictures Eric came back with were of Lucy in various window-peeks like the two below.  In the top picture, Lucy is with "the other Lucy", Bowen's little sister.  This old woman in the shoe is a little like George Foreman... get it?  :)
 This is the "corn pool" attraction.  Eric tells me that the corn was almost two feet deep in the drifts and FREEZING cold.  So much for swimming in the fall.
 Posed in the gift shop?  Killing time where it was warmer.
 Lucy with her bag of apples to take home (yum!)  The smile says it all.
