Tractors and Soy Beans and Animals, Oh My!

Yesterday was my school field trip to Farm Days at the fair grounds!  It was freezing outside, but mommy and daddy braved the weather to go with me!  I was a little sad at first because I really wanted Myla to go with us.  It was just too cold outside to take her, so grandma stayed with her and they both stayed warm at home.
I am not sure there is anywhere else where you can play in corn, learn about 4-H, check out animals AND hang out on tractors other than the fairgrounds!  This year there was an added bonus.  Grandma Donna's work had a booth and we got to see her while we were there.
I have definitely grown up a little bit since last year because I wasn't a bit scared to milk the cow this time.  I did it and I did a good job!!  I watched the sheep sheering, got to pet the rabbits, horses and cows and I played in everything from dirt to soybeans to straw (or hay...mommy doesn't know the difference).  I  checked out how bees make honey, took mommy on a pretend John Deere ride and sat on the big horse.  I planted watermelon seeds to take home, learned about the wild animals that live in Muncie (Yep, there are wild animals around these parts) and talked to some guys about water pollution.
Despite the wind and cold, we had a great time!  The buildings were nice and warm and I didn't even think about how cold it was outside.  I Love Farm Days!!
