Down on the Farm!



We had a wonderful day at the farm last week.  It was such a beautiful day and the kids just adored being able to see all of the baby animals.  Look how big my little man is getting??  He loved seeing the baby chicks and giggled as the baby goats tried to eat my shoes!  



                         The girls holding a baby duck- sooo sweet!

After a hayride, the kids learned about growing strawberries.  We were given strawberry plants to grow in our own garden.  Mmmm!
