Everybody's Got a Water Buffalo

One of the moms at the homeschool co-op we go to has decided to plan field trips for us this year.  The first one was a trip to the buffalo farm on October 9th.  The buffalo farm  is where you get to learn about growing rice and how water buffalo used to be used before modern day machinery.
This day was MESSY and so much fun!  We were able to push the plow behind the buffalo in the rice paddy, plant rice, and mount a buffalo.  (Check out the video, it's harder than it looks!)  The girls were too squeamish to get into the mud much, which is understandable considering it was up to my knees!  Here's a bunch of pictures, I'm not going to take the time to worry about layout.
