Wheeler Farm Fieldtrip

Reese's preschool class went to Wheeler Historic Farm in SLC for a little field trip. It was fun being in the middle of the city but on a farm.

Reese was able to ride a wagon around the farm to see all the animals. She and her little BFF Cambree were in separable. It was cute.

They were able to watch how they milk their cows by hand (the old fashioned way) every day at 5 am and then again at 5 pm.

It think the highlight though was feeding the ducks, geese and a few birds around the lake.

I brought Caden and his cowboy boots. He too enjoyed the bird feedings the most.


There is a tree on the property that was once struck by lightning and split in two and has since grown into the perfect climbing/tree house. Bear had a blast climbing all over it! Don't have many things like mature trees at home. He was in heaven.

We had lunch after the outing with some friends at the farm. While enjoying lunch, there was a strong burnt/melting tire smell. Come to find out...

There was a car on FIRE in the parking lot! We snapped this picture just before the entire car was engulfed in flames and the fire department came to put out the fire. Fortunately, we were lucky b.c we literally almost parked right next to the very spot, but I felt (HG?) that I should move the car to a different lot. Our friends weren't so fortunate and were stuck at the farm until everything was under control.

But, seriously, how does a car catch on fire in a parking lot? Still don't know what happened. Made for an interesting end to our outing though.
