Diamond D Ranch

Yeehaw! On Tuesday, we went on our first field trip of the 2010-2011 school year. Decked out in our lime green class shirts, we headed to Diamond D Ranch for a day of excitement and exploration. For many of the students, the bus ride alone was a fantastic adventure! Little did they know what would lie ahead....

We started off our day at Diamond D with a hay ride around the ranch. On our journey around the property, we fed billy goats, learned about a bison, and we were even surrounded by and fed "cow chow" to a herd of hungry cattle. Our next stop was the bounce houses, followed by the Nature Trail. The students learned about different uses for trees and were amazed by the massive catfish that showed up when they tossed food into the pond. After lunch we rode the ponies, went on a barrel roll ride and stopped by a special animal pen to check out a mini horse and a bull. All in all, it was a great day on the ranch!
