Yesterday my son brought home a permission slip for his first field trip in the 3rd grade. They are going to a place called an Oil Ranch. I was curious about this, because I wasn’t sure what this place actually was. I pictured a place with oil all over the place. I googled it though, and found out that it’s basically a ranch. I mean I’m sure that it has something to do with oil, but what the children go there for probably has nothing to do with oil. There’s a petting zoo, horses to groom and feed, beef cattle which can also be hand fed, and dairy cows that the kids will actually get to milk themselves. I have never milked a cow before, and I’m not sure I would want to. Eric will love this place though. He loves nature, he loves animals, and his favorite part will be getting to see all the newborn animals which they also have plenty off from what their website said. Anyway, I guess the $6 for admission is well worth it. I totally don’t remember if the thing said I needed to pack him a lunch or not though.
