Posted by: Alex. Yesterday I took a trip with my class to Appleton Farms. We took a big long bus to get there. It was fun even though it was kind of cold and rained on us a little, too. We are learning about soil in Mrs. Graziano's class, so we looked for bugs in the soil. We got a little box to look through and I found a spider. Then I put the bug in the box, but then I let it crawl back out. 

We ate lunch in the barn. Mommy packed me a sandwich, crackers and a banana. There were horse stalls in the barn, but they did not have real horses in them. I saw baby cows, mom cows and a bull. One of the baby cows was named Peaches and the other was named Emily. I got to see chickens too. After lunch we had recess in one of the fields, except it had walls around it so it wasn't that big. I played tag with my friends. 

I saw a lot of vegetables that they were selling at the farm and also got to see a big compost pile. The pile was smoking because the dirt is hot and it was cold outside. I had a really fun time.
