It has been an amazing
summer! The kids had so much fun on the field trips and getting to learn new
and exciting things. We also loved hearing from each child the special things
that they did when they had time off from daycare J This August, the children had a lot of
visitors and they really enjoyed all the special people that came.
On August 9, we got a
visit from the Wild Life Rehab. They came in and we got to meet 2 very special
owls that they are caring for at their facility! The children loved looking at
the owls and they asked lots of questions – a questions that was asked often
was, “Can we pet them?” We also had
another visitor come from Prairie Exotic! They came and showed us snakes,
geckos, spiders, frogs, and even a bearded dragon! The children were so excited
to see all the animals and lots of them were brave enough to pet some of them!
To finish off our
summer we did a final field trip to Boonstra Farms in Stonewall. We had tons of
fun just getting to the farm because the children were all excited to be on a
bus and seeing all the construction workers who waved at us. Once we got to the
farm, we went straight to the petting zoo where we got to play with the goats, see
giant turkeys and waddle like ducks in a line. There was also some sheep,
kittens and bunnies but they did not really did not want any of our love. After
the petting zoo, we got to go on a hay ride to see all the big animals. In the
big barn we met Bessie, she is a dairy cow. Everyone got a chance to either pet
her or try milking her. After we said bye to Bessie we went outside to see the
two horses, a donkey and a fluffy llama. Everyone got a turn to feed to horse’s
oats from their hands. Once the horses had had enough to eat it was our turn
for a hot dog lunch. Once everyone was finished eating the big kids went off to
the corn maze while the little ones went back to our favorite part of the trip,
the petting zoo. What a fun day!
