Farm Field Trip

Arrival at the farm! It's about 45 to 60 minutes to get there and I'm sure the kids were excited. Notice the facial expression of the boy on the bottom left :) That's Keven. I wonder what he was thinking about. Bekah and her cronies, Daniela and Rhiannon, are just behind the boys. There were so cute holding hands and wrapping arms around each other.
Baby ostriches! I've never seen babies before. Next time you go to a zoo, pay attention to how the ostriches move their necks. It's such a fluid movement. The kids were very excited to see these guys. Were were on a hayride and there was one ostrich outside the fence because the male in the photo was mean to her for an unknown reason. He even gave us a display of his wings when she got too close.
Turtle pond. You may not be able to see but there is one turtle on another turtle's back on that rock. Reminds me of that Dr. Suess story of Yertle the Turtle. Don't you love Rhiannon's hat? So appropriate.
Big turtle. They had several this size and one even bigger. I love these guys!
Aren't these morning glories beautiful? I love that brilliant blue color. Just had to have a pic.

You may be wondering what happened to Rhiannon's cool hat...the goat actually tried to eat it! Ha! Never seen that in real life but lots on cartoons. I got to wear the hat.
This was the entrance/exit to the Faerie Woods. Pretty neat to walk under and it had the beautiful blue flowers on it. Bekah and Daniela are just ahead and Rhiannon was just behind because she was counting faerie houses. How cute is that? She counted 60 something.
After lunch the kids had fun roaming, running and climbing in the picnic area. The climbing was quickly discouraged but they still had fun. There were several donkey's in the pasture next door to look at too.
Madison's dad thoughtfully provided ice pieces for the kids to cool off with.
Bekah really enjoyed the bus ride. Here she is just before heading home. She says she wants to ride the bus every day.

This place is called Crowe's Nest Farm and it's really neat. In addition to traditional farm animals, they have a lot of rescued wild animals that are neat to look at. We were able to roam the paths of the farm and see the animals, butterfly house, faerie wood, and gardens. The kids had a lot of fun. Bekah said her favorite part was the hayride. One of her classmates said his favorite was lunch. This friend is diabetic so food is really important to him.

I just love all these opportunities to spend time with the kids, their classmates, teachers and other parents.

And can you believe that this makes two posts on the day of the events!
