Yesterday, we visited a local farm which is a little different than the typical farm. Sure, they have produce growing, cows, chickens and pigs. But ya know what else they have? A SUNFLOWER MAZE!
So I thought I'd send a little post of pictures from our adventure. Although I took nearly one hundred photos, obviously I can't put that many here. But I'll share quite a few because few things are more beautiful than a sunflower field. I can't think of one at this moment.

| This is the map of this year's maze. Yep, that's a goat you're seeing. |

| Following clues to find our way out.. |
 |
| The day wasn't particularly hot but those "walls" of sunflowers allow no air circulation. It was almost unbearable at times. |
 |
| One cannot have a farm without a treehouse. |

| We made it out! |

Eco-Craft time! This is a pot made of newspaper.
Dirt and a sunflower seed were added.
In a few days, once it sprouts, we'll plant the entire thing in the ground.

Happy Homeschooling!
I love seeing the pictures of you; what a great day everybody had...!
ReplyDeleteUp here, we're still about two months away from having any sunflowers this tall. Haven't seen any little ones yet, even. :-(
Nice to know other places have them, though! :-)))
We only have 6 weeks of "winter". So we get our growing started quite a bit earlier than other places.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Jennifer!
This looks like such an awesome field trip! Great pictures, too. So glad everyone had such a good time.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! It inspires me to look for a sunflower maze.
