Tolmachoff Farms

Zhara's class went on a field trip last Wed to Tolmachoff Farms. It is a working farm & has a big thing for "fall". Since she goes to a charter school there are no buses so some of the parents drove. Alyssa got to come with us & 2 of the 5 girls in Zhara's class of 20 (yes that is a lot of boys) got to ride with us.

Zhara was such a good listener

It is so hot in AZ that when you leave the corn on the cob out in the sun it pops!

I'm truly amazed so many plants can grow in such extreme weather! Our garden produced next to nothing this year :(

April,
How sweet. I loved going on fieldtrips with Katie when we we're in Japan. We used to go to all these usual places that you just don't get to see. I wish they had a farm like that up here. Have a great day! Kris
