We had a great time at Hidden Villa...the
first thing we saw was the garden
We used our garden tools
(our fingers) to feel the earth
We were able to taste many
fun things... some vegetables, some plants, and even some flowers!!!
We learned about composting
and how important worms are for our Earth... we loved learning
that dirt is really worm poop .....
munch, munch - wiggle, wiggle -
poop, poop
We visited the sheep first... they
had just gotten a haircut. We learned all about wool, and we whispered
about the meat that we eat from lambs!
We then went to the chicken coop....
we fed the chickens some of their favorite plants, got to pet
a chicken, and learned a little about eggs.
We then went to check out the pigs.....
I think none of the adults
that went on the trip will ever eat a marshmallow again... did
you know that jello and marshmallows are made from pig hooves??
We also learned about pigskin footballs, hairbrushes from pig
hair, and of course bacon!!
Our last stop was the goats... we
were a little afraid of the goats, but everyone had a chance to
pet one...
We had a great time... the farm
is open to the public.. check out the website for times and more
info!!! Thanks to all our parent drivers!
