Here some great pictures taken by my friend Ashly of Agricultural Day at Cloverland Elementary School, where the boys attend.
Note the cute presenter in the 4th grade class. The scheduled speaker couldn't make it, so John filled in. He spoke about 'commodities' and the Central Valley (and about his teen days of working on a dairy and about his experiences in FFA [Future Farmers of America.]) Among the Central Valley's largest commodities are: Dairy, tomatoes, corn, beef, poultry, rice. John asked how many kids lived on farms. Nobody raised their hand. He asked how many of their parents or grandparents grew up on farms. Many hands went up.
Jackson particularly liked the one-horned goat. Bonus--the horn fell off during Ag Day! Alden liked the roping demonstration.
In addition to Ag Day, October also brought us two successful birthday parties for the boys. Pics are on Facebook.
