Last week I ventured to the Critter Barn with Kennedy's class. The weather could have been better but other than that the trip was great. They do such a wonderful job there, explaining all the detailed aspects of the farm, and the kids loved every part of the field trip. A highlight for all was the unexpected birth of a baby goat.
Attempting a class photo.
The horse was super hungry and kept trying to nibble off the hats of the kid's who were wearing them. Some thought it was funny and some were a bit scared. Miss Mary made sure he got something to eat when we told her how silly he was being.
All the kids got a chance to pet the horse if they wanted.
I do believe all joined in.
Mrs. Borgman was playing mommy to this new calf.. The kids thought it was fun to watch the baby drink from a bottle.

Time to milk the goat..
The surprise birth of the baby goat.. what a fun treat that was.
I have never seen an animal be born so it was a very neat experience to witness. I'm sure this is a moment all the kiddos will remember. I know Kennedy loves to tell everyone about it. :)
About an hour after it was born the goat tried to stand and even took a few steps.
It was was a cute sight.

After all the baby goat fun we moved on to the lambs..
Kennedy isn't shy when it comes to any of the animals... a surprise to me since I'm not that big of an animal lover.
A quick after lunch break with Jaiden and Hope.
After holding the bunnies she told me we needed one. She does look awfully cute holding them, but I don't think it's a possibility. It's a good thing Critter Barn is close by and that our neighbors raise rabbits... She can get her fix when she feels the need.
Precious baby chicks.
The one and only animal I touched that day.
Feeding the chickens..
'Best Day Ever' were the words Kennedy used to sum up the day. :)
