Good Afternoon!
*Reminder: Wee Friends is closed for summer vacation starting Thursday, June 29th and will reopen Monday, July 10th. Thanks!
This morning, we used our hands in a variety of ways; painting, puzzles, and play dough (our three favorite p’s).
The older group went to the farm (and met Jackson, Max, and their mom Dixie there) and the first thing we got to experience was a horse getting it’s hooves trimmed! We stood by and watched as this was happening and afterwards, we got to hold the tools that were used (they were HEAVY!).
Fun fact: Did you know that ground horse hooves are in the following foods?: jelly, jam, and Jell-O!
We stopped and said hi to the turkey chicks that we delivered a couple weeks back. Boy, have they grown! They went from sharing one cage to now having to use all three cages!
There was not a cloud in the sky this morning which was fabulous weather for a good run around the farm. Once we got out into open spaces, we were free to run and get out our energy in a positive way.
Of course, we had to stop and get a few swings in at our favorite place!
We walked up toward the farm and Miss Charlotte told us that we could head to the garden and pick some strawberries! Each friend picked two to three strawberries before heading to the sink outside to clean them off.
Our younger group had met Miss Charlottes snake and our older friends were a little envious. So, they politely went up to the house and rang the door bell. “Can we please met your snake?”, they asked. A couple of our friends took turns holding the snake. We learned a couple things about the snake:
1. The snake only eats every three to four weeks (a couple mice do the trick
).
2. This specific snake was a vertebrae. We got to feel it’s spine and ribs.
3. It’s a cold blooded animal, different from most mammals who are warm blooded.
Breakfast– Homemade oatmeal pancakes and strawberries.
Lunch– Brown rice with cheese, apples, and cauliflower.
PM snack– Graham crackers and pumpkin seeds.
Wee Sprout– Cucumber/carrots.
Have a great evening!
