Field Trip Fun

Today we made Melia's preschool field trip into a family affair-- we all went!

The trip was up to the wheat fields on Badger Mountain to glean wheat-- then tomorrow they separate the wheat from the chaff, blow the chaff away, and Friday they will make their own bread and butter. So, so cool. I remember making butter in 4-H at a science trip thing-- I had no idea how it all worked, so hopefully Melia will love it as much as I did.


Miss Becky reading to the kids at snack time-- Kiera was so excited to get to come to preschool. No, really, she was. I promise-- thrilled, I tell ya!
This is the view from snack time-- That is the north end of Wenatchee Valley, like only Olds Station and Sunnyslope, looking up towards Cashmere. It's easy to forget just how high Badger is until you get up there!
Melia, ready for Daddy to stop taking her picture so she can work.... or not.
Kids.... gleaning.

Kiera being sneaky.
Class picture.
One funny story, but no picture cause it's just not ok. Melia has some crack issues. And where we sat for snack, her crack was well exposed to the chilly wind. Gabe, behind her, watched her desperately trying to tuck the blanket in somewhere higher than her crack, trying to keep it warm. :-) Poor Kid. Her mom needs to do a better job dressing her.
