Our Trip to Chaloupka Farm

Wednesday was Kate's second field trip but the first one that I attended with her. The first one was across the street to the fire station (not quite as nostalgic as the Dairy Farm). Since Rocky Creek Farm AKA Chaloupka Farm is a good hour from the school they looked to parents to drive. I volunteered and decided that if I was going to take my car, we might as well take Mr. Wesley as well. We also took Karissa and her mom (also Jessica).

The kids has a blast! What was even more exciting is that my maiden name is Chaloupka and I grew up literally less than 10 minutes from this farm on my own 'Chaloupka Farm'. This field trip had a real corn maze where real corn was going to be harvested in the next month. A really cool hay slide and a huge 'frog hopper'. The kids got to do duck races and even milk an 'imaginary cow'. Wesley thought it was cool...Kate wasn't fooled and wanted a real cow with some real milk. They didn't let us milk a real cow but we did see a slew of real dairy cows waiting to get milked.
