Fog Willow Farms

Yesterday we had a fun and sweaty time in Wilton, Ca. We visited:

We joined fellow Catholic homeschoolers for a field trip of farm science and play time.

With all their energy, the kids got to "make" a volcano erupt!

Zachary and Vincent made glove terrariums. They planted a seed in a wet cotton ball, placed it into the finger of a glove (times five), blew up the glove and sealed it. Now they are sitting in the window sill waiting for the sun and time to make them sprout. During this lesson they learned that a seed needs 3 things to sprout: water, air, and sunlight. NOT SOIL! (as most kids guessed and Vincent keeps emphasizing)

They got to pet farm animals including a turtle, baby goat, and baby bunnies.

It was a fun time and thank God for those shady trees! Francesca was already a bit cranky from the heat but after some water play time and a jar of baby food, she did much better.
I think Jason's mom or gramma made this quilt... maybe Cathy will check out my blog and tell me the true story.
