Paint it Red.

So,
T signed up for a class where the goal is to go to all kinds of fun field trip like destinations and come up with lessons or school related assignments based on those places. For this she gets college credits. We picked 2 destinations this last weekend and set out to see southern california from a elementary school perspective. Our Saturday destination was an old favorite but it was on the list of approved spots. Underwood Farms! Strawberry picking and farm living! Z and A had a great time running around. We picked a bunch of spinach, 3 lbs of strawberries and 2 heads of butter lettuce. The kids mostly like the non food picking part but they love to eat the berries. I call this chasing skirts...
They have big tractors to play on, singing chickens, and goats in trees.
"A" wasn't happy when we left the tractors.
Till he figured out how to ride in style. Pick a chariot and crack that whip!
Now pick the fields and enjoy the spoils.
Our Stop on Sunday was an Exotic cat breeding center and rescue.. The kids really didn't care for the cats too much. We were a bit nervous because the cats are really kind of close but it was a cool place.
The kids spent most of the time climbing on benches, and Z managed to acquaint herself with a rose bush much to her displeasure.
From the Cathouse we could hear the sounds of race cars. I knew there was a track (willow Springs) in town so we headed out to find it. Turns out there was a race going on of vintage indy cars and the guy at the gate let us in for free.
A wasn't a huge fan of all the noise.
So we left.
It was a good weekend. Hopefully next weekend will be just as good. (I'm looking at you) RTSZA-

That sounds like a really fun day. I remember going to a great demolition derby out that way somewhere one time and you kids really enjoyed it.

That was the old Saugus speedway. They tore that down unfortunately.

Next weekend is going to be the bomb.com. Well, not saturday because flying with children is awful, but besides that.
