So at the beginning of this month I was able to get a babysitter for Owen, and go on a field trip with Eva and her Pre-K class to a “Farm” is Queens. As the bus pulled up I quickly realized that this was indeed not a farm but a zoo of sorts filled with farm animals. Farm animals were all over the grounds in these little pins, and there were a few cows chained up outside so the kids could come and milk them. Eva had a really good time petting the animals and even getting to hold a few, and trying her hand at milking. The highlight for her was getting to ride the pony, and as you can see she kept a close eye on the brown obstacles on the pony track. At the end the kids got to pick a pumpkin from the patch (aka….large pile of pumpkins on cement slab) and go on a hay ride. In all, it was a good time. NYC has a lot to offer our children…..world class museums, aquariums, planetariums, zoos, botanical gardens, etc…..I would not however, include “Farms” on this list :).
