Fall on the Farm Day!!!

Last Friday Ryan's preschool had "Fall on the Farm Day!" He was so excited and couldn't wait since the month was spent learning different things about farms and animals. I was lucky enough to be asked to help out that day and was just as excited as Ryan was. I didn't know what to expect and was so surprised by all of the fun things they had for the kids to do! They literally brought the farm to the school.
Ryan is ready for the day!!!
He got to pet a rabbit... ...a calf named Emma... ...a goat named Gertie who liked sucking on his finger...
...and ride a horse named Buck! I asked the girls if that was any indication of what the horse likes to do, but they didn't think I was funny!

After all of the animal fun we headed off to make butter, which required A LOT of shaking!!! Next we headed off on a hayride...
...through the beautiful orchard behind the church where Ryan's preschool is!
Next, the carnival games!!!
Then into the barn...
...for some cow milking fun!
At the end of the day we got to pick a pumpkin and head home!!!
It was a lot of fun spending the morning with Ryan and his class! He wasn't afraid at all to get in there and pet the animals or participate in any of the games they had. I am grateful for how many different things my kids have been exposed to and all of the opportunities they have had! Ryan was teaching his friends about a lot of the animals, because he spends so much time with my dad and brother and their animals up in Loomis. He is so stinkin' cute and smart!
