Sean had a class trip to Barn-n-Bunk a couple of weeks ago. We learned how to make a scarecrow, which was quite informative. Everybody got a turn stuffing the straw in (and we learned the difference between straw and hay, which I had been wondering about) which was fun.
The finished product!
I kept Teresa entertained with a snack in the carrier. She was not at all interested in learning about scarecrows but was keen on running around beyond where I could see her, so I pulled the Rice Chex card. Luckily that worked without too much squawking.
Sean's classic "camera smile."
There was an old corn crib that has been converted into a maze with a slide at the end. Sean did not want to go through it because it was too dark and he could not see where he was going, but then he figured out a way - he followed someone with light-up shoes! (So those do have a purpose after all!)
Sean did lead the pack during the corn maze. You can see him up front with the "Jeff" shirt on. I need to remember to not allow that shirt when he goes to school since it seems to cause some confusion. :)
so what's the difference between hay and straw?
