Farm Field Trip

The neighborhood went on a field trip today to Cloudview to see the baby animals of spring!

We walked to the farm in a herd of our own.

There was goat feeding

and petting 

and lamb snuggling.

Precious lambs

The 3 lambs and their mother were none too pleased to be with us and were very vocal about it!

Perhaps most popular was chasing chickens and trying to catch them. Once they were caught, it was unclear what to do next...

These poor  birds won't be laying eggs anytime soon after the trauma of  14 small children racing around their pen!

Mitch and the kids got to bottle feed the calves

and then attention turned to the law mama sharing their space. They got a lesson about where to stand and how to avoid headbutts.

Then, Mitch fed the mama some grain. It was a charming outing, a nice walk over and back, and very friendly farmers showing us around. Three cheers for spring!
