Today was a great day at Children's Farm!! It was not too hot and lucky for Benny because as you can see he picked out his same outfit at last week (apparently his farm outfit is jeans and a polo :). Bennett helped Keara bring the lambs out today!! The lambs sure are growing big!
I've been so impressed with Bennett's attitude and adventurous spirit at the farm. I feel that last year he would've resisted a lot, but this is the perfect time for him to experience the farm - he is willing to try and try again. Its a great confidence booster for all children at the farm, so I'm happy Benny is getting to be here this summer!
Taking hay for Cinnamon and Bud.
Pumping water for the animals
This week we worked on peeling and cutting carrots and cucumbers for a salad. The children did it themselves with only minimal supervision by parents. They did a great job! Bennett couldn't help but think of a snowman with this long carrot nose. :)
Of course, he was eager to ride Cinnamon again!
Bennett even learned to lean and pull the reigns to help Cinnamon turn around the pasture.
And kitty holding is always a must!
Today we needed a little help from Farmer Nancy's granddaughter to help us find an egg! Those hens were protective!! Sure enough, Benny found a good one and washed it right up.
My brave boy on the zip line!! It was tough work to get him up there, so once he was up, I always let him have a long turn!!
And today the tire swing was better than ever...definitely a favorite!
After chores today and a snack of salad prepared by the kids, we went on an adventure in the woods, walking to see some trees that fell in the storms last week. We had to climb a couple fences and a gate. I had never been back to this part of the farm before and it was fun!!
Sweet Bennett
So special! Thanks for bringing me to Children's Farm, Benny! It was so fun!
**And a happy birthday to my brother who turns 30 today!!**
