The Children's Farm 2

Today we had our second class at the Children's Farm in Stillwater!  It was great!

Logan loves tractors.

Making friends with the lamb.

NOT making friends with the cat.  After this little chasing incident, Logan got a lesson from Nancy, our teacher, about how to treat the cat nicely.  He took the lesson much better from her than he has when I have tried to tell him!

When class begins, our first chore is to feed and water the animals.  Each bucket has the appropriate food for the animal labeled.  The children get to choose which animals they want to feed.

They had just gotten some fresh hay, so we were able to load up the little wheel barrels and feed the horses.  This was Logan's favorite task of the day!  

He did a great job with the wheel barrel - no help from me!

Feeding Midnight.

Next Logan chose to feed the rabbits.  We took their little dishes out of their cages and filled them up with food.  Then Logan said, "Here you go Bunny!" and gave them a little pet.

It was a little rainy again, so most of the other activities were set up in the barn.  We spent time outside between sprinkles, though.  We got eggs from the chickens again (another of Logan's favorites! He went into the coop all by himself and picked out his egg - a brown one this time and washed it up all by himself); here Logan is grinding up some corn for the new piglets at the farm; we painted; made a corn art projects; played in the hayloft again; played with the kitties (they're already getting big!); and planted beans in the garden.

Here is Logan planting beans with Megan, one of the farm staff (his new best friend at the farm!).

Then we spent some time just digging and playing in the mud.  I figure this is a good time to get down and dirty!

WHAT FUN!
