What a fab farm trip. We kissed toads, shoveled horse poop, held chicks and bunnies, watched newborn lambs cuddle next to Mommy and rode a pony. Not a drop of rain fell upon us.

Before we left for the farm, we sat in a circle and wrote our own version of Old McDonald. (Have YOUR Wee Friend make up his/her own verses of this published, alternative version of Old McDonald.

Old McDonald had a cat,
It ate his furry, winter hat.
Old McDonald had a goose,
It ate his can of apple juice.

Old McDonald had a duck,
It ate his new, green, pick-up truck.
Old McDonald had a cow,
It ate ten bags of puppy chow.

Old McDonald had a horse,
It ate his rubber boots, of course.

Old McDonald had a pig,
It ate his sister’s brand-new wig.

Old McDonald had a dog,

It helped Miss Laurie write this blog.
