"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

Farm America Field Trip

Braeden's 3rd grade class went on a field trip this week to Farm America near Waseca, MN. Brad was a chaperone for the trip. The photo's below were taken on a phone, so they're not the greatest.


In this photo, Braeden is one of 3 kids in a 1850's log cabin settlement. His bed space is a 3x3 foot spot on the floor.
Braeden and his classmates enter one of the old buildings as they learned about life on the prairie over the last 150 years.
Braeden was the oldest son in this example. We also learned about the one room school house, older dairy farms, home from the 1930's and of course the early settlers. It was a very difficult life in those early days!
Dad had a great time spending the day with Braeden and his classmates. He was possibly the most excited person on the trip!
