A FarmTastic Friday

Our schedule this fall is jam packed with play group, preschool, speech, sport tykes, and MOPS. We are soaking it all in while we can!! :) Today, however, we had nothing scheduled, not to mention that it is an absolutely gorgeous day, so the little guy and I ventured to TheArtBarn at Morning Glory Farm for some fun. It was FarmTastic!!


The theme at the farm today was chickens so everything centered around them -- we started off in the hay barn petting chickens and reading a story about a hen and her eggs {Dora's Eggs}. R was a little antsy during this part. He had no desire to pet the chickens {I think he was afraid of them}, and just wanted to go see the "an-mals" already.

R loved hearing the roosters crow and would say, "Mom, what's that?" :)

Ryan got his wish as we headed out to the farm after story time for some hands on time with ALL the animals. We met chickens, ducks, bunnies, lambs, goats, cows, donkeys, horses, and pigs! We got to see a farm FRESH egg, and pet a baby chick {that was only a week old} as well.

Ryan really likes horses ... he will fit in well in Lexington!

Donkeys,

sheep,

and pigs galore!

Then we painted a picture of a chicken in TheArtBarn, went on a hayride pulled by a '57 Ford tractor named Matilda, and had a picnic under the huge old magnolia trees. And before we left, R chased a beautiful rooster all over the farm :)



It was an egg-citing morning!! And as Farmer Sue would say, hawgsnkisses to you all!!
