Our Family Adventure At Wise Acres Organic Farm
As some of you know, my family and I moved to North Carolina a few months ago. Since we've been here, we've slowly been venturing out looking for fun places to take the family.This week our friend invited us along on her homeschool co-op field trip! We were sold when she said strawberry picking! I was surprised to see just how close it was to our house.If you're ever in the Charlotte area, you have to head over to the Wise Acres Organic Farm.It's run by a family who moved here from Chicago. They wanted to have a small organic farm and it wasn't possible in the city. Now, there family is able to run a small organic farm where families around can bring their kids and spend the day!They have tractor rides without all the itchy hay!The best part of the tractor ride was the little Dr. Seuss flare! During the tractor ride, the kids were on the hunt for Truffala trees! Every one they spotted ended with kids yelling and pointing! They loved it! They even have a cute horse tire swing. My kids could have spent the whole day on the swing! Levi was so in love with it, he even gave it a little speech as we left.OK I think this is it. Don't worry, I'll be back one day. Luke's favorite part were the animals! He got to meet some bunny friends and even hold a baby chicken! It was all good until the chicken started flapping his wings! The little guy was convinced it was after him! Strawberry picking was the biggest success! The boys went up and down picking every red strawberry they could find. I figured they'd stop when their little baskets were full, but no. Luke found a way around it. He started filling his little mouth with them instead!Overall, the day was a success and the boys are already asking when we're going back!
