The older group went on their first farm trip this morning! Of course, we had to get back into the swing of things when traveling to the farm. Once we got to the farm, we talked with Miss Charlotte about what we should and shouldn’t do while there. For example, not making loud noises as not to startle the animals.

Our first stop included visiting the new baby goats! We discussed how to properly pet them. We saw one of the goats nursing! “Hey, that goat is eating!”—our friends are quite observant!

We needed to release a little energy so this stepping stool seemed like the perfect opportunity!

We saw a kitty cat as we were walking back towards the barn. Children all sat down and we waited to see if the cat would come to us. As a group, we were patient and played the waiting game Smile.

Emerson used the skills she had learned just a few minutes prior to get the cat to come towards her!

We decided to cut across a field. When we started walking, friends kept saying, “It’s loud and crunchy!” It sure was a workout for our legs!

To end our morning at the farm, we took turns on the swing! It was a nice relaxing moment to collect ourselves before getting back into the Wee-hicle.

A friend even used his experience this morning as a topic for his journal this afternoon!

We LOVE the farm.

Back at Wee Friends, our younger group worked with Miss Melinda! They gathered a list of stories that they could SING! They made a list and each friend picked their favorite book!
