More Preschool FUN!

For a week of preschool the kids got to learn about animals on the farm. Eli came home with some really great pictures that he had done of some animals and a barn. Then one of the teachers in our little group, (Sarah Murray) who has also been doing music for another preschool here in Casper got us a chance to tag along to an actual farm. So here are the pictures of the kids getting to be at the farm!


One really great thing about this experience was not only did Eli get to be apart of the fun but so did Mckenna. Here they are getting a chance to feed the baby goats. It was so funny because those goats were hungry and almost knocked the kids over trying to get the milk from the bottles.


Eli really did like petting the goats but he sure doesn't look like it in this picture.

Climbing the fence to see the cows.

The kids got to pet the sheep and in the first picture it is Eli and his school friend Josh and in the next one it's more school friends, Even and Naomi. I wanted to get a picture of Mckenna petting the sheep but I wasn't fast enough. She was really nervous and inched her way over to the sheep really slowly and as fast as she could took one quick pet and was out the gate. That was one time I wish I would have had my video camera.

Looking at the pigs.

Last but not least the kids got to ride on a pony. I didn't know if Eli would do it or not but Sarah said she would walk next to him and once he was told that he went right with her. Here he is being told how to hold on tight.


And he's off walking down the small trail with Sarah at his side.

Coming back Sarah said he told the pony to, "Giddy up!"

After the pony ride we were all frozen farm popsicles. So we decided to go back to Sarah's house and have our picnic lunch indoors. I know I've shown you lots of pictures but I wish I would have taken more. I didn't get any of the cute baby chicks, the funny talking ducks, the lamas or Mckenna petting the cat. The kids had so much fun and when asked what they liked the best Eli said the ponies and Mckenna said she like the ducks.

That looks like so much fun. Merritt went on a field trip to a farm last week and it really weirded me out that he was all excited to see stuff I saw almost every day of my entire childhood!
