City Kids Down on the Farm

Olivia milking a goat (with a little help from Farmer Linda).

Olivia and her friend Anna after they had just bottle fed a baby sheep.

Here all the kids are covering their ears because the baby pig was squealing so loudly--boy are they city kids, or what?

Olivia and her best friend Anna on the bus. They were pretty pumped about riding the bus on the way to the farm since they walk to school every day.

Two weeks ago today I had the opportunity to go with Olivia's kindergarten class to Sunrock Farm. It was quite an adventure, let me tell you! They got to milk a goat, feed goats, pet a very noisy pig, hold a baby chick, feed a baby sheep from a bottle, and collect eggs from a real hen house. It was a very exciting day for them! I enjoyed watching Olivia have fun with her friends. It's hard to believe that they are all almost 1st graders! They have grown so much this year. The best part of the trip was on the bus ride back when my brother called me and told me I was an aunt to twin girls-- Audrey and Lilly!!! I thought Olivia and Anna were going to hug each other to death. It was just a great day all around! The next post will of course contain pictures of my beautiful nieces! (If you can't tell, I'm just a tad bit excited to be an aunt!)
