Farm Field Trip

Today at Preschool we had the opportunity to take the kids on a field trip to the Farm.  The kids really enjoyed being able to see the animals and pet some of them.


This was the farmer and his son Jakeston.  They were talking to the kids about all the different eggs that they had on their farm.  They get eggs from Chickens, Ducks, & Pigeons.  At the end they showed them a ping pong ball and asked them to guess what kind of egg it was, but they could not fool these smart kids they knew it was a ball!!


The kids were listening so well.


Isaac checking out the chickens, he found an egg in there.  He is so excited to get our chickens, we really can't wait.


Jeremiah looking at the chickens.


The farmer and his goats.  We had to be careful how we pet them because they really like to eat cloths!!

He decided that the brown one was softer.


The sheep was being stubborn and would not walk out on the leash so the farmer just picked it up and carried it out.  The kids thought this was so funny!


Isaac petting the sheep.  It still has his winter fur, but they were getting ready to shave them.

These were the farmers baby pigeons, that hatched a few day ago.


The kids got to pet them but very softly with one finger.  We learned that there are more then 800 types of pigeons, and that they are very susceptible to diseases in there eyes.  We learned a lot and had fun being able to pet all of the animals.
