| They were getting all decorated for Easter |
 |
| Inside there is a room that explains the process of making animal pet food and lots of hands on items for the kids to explore |
 |
| If you ever wanted to do a report on the changing times of a local company they had a great timeline for the company and their logos changes and items sold. |
 |
| They have a large barn where the kids could watch some animals and it is lambing time. We loved doing this in England |
 |
| We also saw baby cows with their mothers |
 |
| We got there just in time for milking and this cow was making quite a fuss waiting to be milked |
 |
| We got to watch a milking demonstration |
 |
| kids each got to try milking the cow the old fashion way |
 |
| Both were successful in getting milk:) |
 |
| Then the farmer showed us how the cows are milked in the modern age |
 |
| The farm has a very small petting area for pigs, hens, and rabbits |
 |
| this hen just jump up on Firedrakes lap and made herself at home |
 |
| We also saw miniature horses and donkeys |
 |
| We found another St. Louis 250th birthday cake |
 |
| We watched a dog show which they hold twice a day |
 |
| We are told in the summer they even have a pool that the dogs jump in and do tricks but it was closed today as it was too cold |
 |
| Where se saw the show dogs homes |
 |
| and the cats had a great house all to them selves, there must have been a dozen snoozing on the different levels. |
 |
| Next we took a wagon ride around the property and to the dog show exhibit hall. I found out they hold weekend dog shows almost every weekend of the year so I have added that to our calendar as the kids and I have never been to a dog show and it sounds fun! |
 |
 |
| Inside the animal barn on the second floor is a small play area with lots of hidden tunnels that MarioFan loved to explore |
 |
| and rope swings....Firedrake is getting too big to want to do these types of things anymore. |
Man! You guys have lots of interesting things to do there! If we have such types of tours around here, none of the homeschool groups arrange trips there and I don't know about them. We live right by Carnation, the high cream company. We went on a tour there when we first moved up here. Shortly afterwards, they stopped being open to the public.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic - Hannah would have LOVED it and has really enjoyed all your pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteHi! I see you haven't updated the field trips blog hop in awhile. I would love to participate if you ever start it back up -- looks like you're still going on fun field trips!
