Owens Spring Creek Farm Field Trip with Oakhill

Today Brant's class visited Owens Spring Creek Farm. It was a fairly short field trip, but it was fun taking a peek at the farm. The first thing we all did was feed the goats. Brant was really not to hip about getting close to the goats, but I think in the end he was sad when he ran out of feed. Then we took a short hayride. In the fall, Brant had been nervous about doing the hayride at the pumpkin patch, so I was pleasantly surprised that he hopped right on the trailer today and was ready to go. It was a cool, beautiful morning to be outside. Then we got to view some of the animals and plant a pumpkin seed. We finished up by enjoying a snack outside before all the kids headed back to school.
