Our field trip on May 20th will be the last field trip that Renee will be planning for the year. For the summer months, please contact me if you have a field trip/outing idea, or want to plan one and invite the group. I would love to know what people are interested in for the summer months, and suggestions as far as how often you would like to have a group activity.
In September, Renee will resume the planning/coordinating of the field trips, so you can again contact her with requests, ideas or offers to help plan an event.
I would like to invite all of you, husbands/fathers too, to a picnic and "farmish type" day at our house on Friday June 17th. If things go as planned, we should have cuddly little bunnies and fuzzy baby chicks for everyone to see by then. We'll spend some time getting to know the animals (I'll try to talk about their care, how their babies are hatched or born and how they care for their young. The kids can gather eggs and feed some treats to the animals. After we're done exploring the barn and possibly gardens (should anything actually be growing in them), we'll have a cook out. We'll provide grilled hot dogs and drinks if you all can bring something to go with that. Plan to bring some camp chairs if you have them. We look very forward to having you here!
I would like to know from any who plan to come what time you'd like to meet. Would it be better to start in the AM, around 10:00, and eat lunch around 12:30, or meet after lunch and have supper together.
If the day happens to be rainy, we'll set a new date and try again.
We would love to come! Mornings are best for us, since Joel works during the day. But we will do what works for everyone else. Thanks for doing this!! -Renee
ReplyDeleteSounds great ~ either time works well, but the supper option might allow Karl to join us? i'm excited about both upcoming "farm" adventures. i may have been raised in Iowa but i'm far from a farm girl! Exciting opportunities for our entire family. Thanks to all for planning, amber n alice.
ReplyDeleteps: Grand Portage National Monument opens Memorial Day weekend, 7 days a week and it's all free. Formal programs start mid-June and special requests are always welcome =)
OK, Thanks Renee and Amber for your comments. My husband and I were hopinig to have this be a homeschool family event, with Dads able to come, so I'm leaning toward evening now. This could change if more people comment about what they want.
ReplyDeleteIf it is in the evening, what would be the earliest that people could make it? Would 5:00 be OK? I'd like to fit in everything farmish, including...MILKING A GOAT!... and then eat. I'm very excited to share the fact that our plans for having milk goats seems to be working out, finally. If things go as hoped, Violette and Panzy should be joining our farmish type family soon.
We would love to join aswell and 5:00 sounds great for us. Thanks for doing this, sounds like alot of fun! ~Brook~
