Field Trip to OSU - 2 in 1

Today we went with a few other families on a field trip to OSU in Corvalis. Our main destination was the Oregon seed lab. I was excited to go because the boys and I are embarking on a journey with Apologia Science to study botany for the next year or so! It looks like a great curriculum and we are so excited. We are just getting into to it, but are already looking ahead to making a light hut to grow herbs and collecting seeds for all sorts of fun stuff! We spent the morning yesterday on a taxonomy exercise classifying and organizing the family shoes...what fun! Just ask them what this means next time you see them or talk to them...."Kim Puts Out Cookies For Goat's Snack."

Anyway, while we were there we took a little trip over to the Sheep Center on campus! A few acres make up this neat place where they do research and people are learning all sorts of things about caring for and raising sheep. They open the barn to the public to view all the lambs being born during this time every year! I can't even begin to tell you how many we saw and...wow...are they cute! Brody saved up his Sheep sweatshirt for the event and was beside himself looking at all of them! He couldn't get to close, but did get to pet one. They are worried about diseases back and forth so it is mostly for viewing! Connor of course also had a good time and thought they were pretty cute too!

It was a FUN day!
