Sweet Grass Dairy Farms Field Trip

Jeremy's class went on a Field Trip to Sweet Grass Dairy Farm in Thomasville. It's a really cute goat farm, and the kids learned a lot about how they make cheese. It was a surprisingly cold day and I couldn't believe how many parents didn't make their kids wear jackets! This lady talked to all the kids about what they were going to see and explained the whole process to the kiddos. I think she was more used to dealing with goats than kids though... it was kinda funny. This is where all the goats were milked. It was so cute, the guy opened the door and the goats filled in and put there heads in the feed box. They didn't even miss one. I didn't get a close up of the milking because I thought that was a little too personal... But it was really interesting and the owners really take good care of their animals!

This was the last picture I got before I dropped my camera straight to the ground while trying to give one of the shivering kids my jacket! It landed lens down and I was so surprised I didn't just completely shatter! Although, it decided it wasn't going to take any more pictures for the rest of the day. A few of the things I missed were the kids tasting the goat cheese and Jeremy's tears over me MAKING HIM TRY IT! And they all got to pet the baby goats that were so stinkin' cute!

All in all it was a really fun day! I'm so glad I'm able to do these special activities with my Jeremy!

Panacea Marine Lab Field Trip

Jeremy's class took a field trip to the Panacea Marine Lab. I was excited because I took the day off of work to go with them. This is Jeremy's class.
These are two of Jeremy's best friends at school Gabe is in the middle and Ivan is on the right.
This was a cool boat they made into a fiddler crab habitat. It even had a tides that come in and out during the day. Most of the kids picked one or two of them up, but Jeremy wouldn't even get close to the boat.
Once again, here is the horseshoe crab habitat. Most of the kids got to hold one... Jeremy, well, not so much. On to the touch tanks... Aubrey finally talked Jeremy into holding this tiny starfish.
And Bryce got him to hold a seacucmber.
They had a big tank with two nurse sharks.
I thought this sea turtle that they rescued from the oil spill was really pretty.
And there is Jeremy standing in the back away from the sting rays. He is so funny!
I think this was the highlight of most of the kids trip... this is a new octopus that the marine lab just got. It was hiding in one of the little house things until our guide fed it some lunch so it would come out... Lunch was some of those fiddler crabs from the boat habitat.
After the marine lab we had lunch at a park nearby. It was a really fun day!

Are you ready for some football!

Jeremy's first Florida High football game!

Welcome to Kindergarten!

Today Jeremy started his first day of school at Florida High! He loves his teacher, Mrs. Burr, and he is super excited about going to a big school and is not at all worried about all the middle and high school kids that are all over campus... not to mention the older elementary kids. My heart races just thinking about it. But he LOVES it! I am excited that this will be his last new school for quite some time!
