Ruby's Agriculture day

I was lucky enough to go go to Ruby's agriculture day field trip with her class.  It was so stinky I kept gagging... literally,  but it totally worth it.

Ruby got to milk a goat... she was very proud of herself.


We learned all about sheep and wool and watched one get her seasonal haircut.



My sweet dear Ruby asked if she could hold the pigs heart.... then she held it long enough for me to go to the other side of the table to take a photo. I was dying!!!!! The other kids thought it was cool so a few of them asked to also hold it. Yuck!


We learned about bees and hives. It was soooo cool and perfect preparation for what happened a few days later....


Some friends of ours had a swarm in their back yard and called another friend of ours that has bees and makes honey for a hobby.


We all got a front row seat to watch him take the swarm (aprox 3 lbs of bees) from the branch and move them into their new home.  No gloves, no hat... no stings. He knew what he was doing and it was amazing.
