Old McDonald Had a Farm...

On June 1, a local farm was nice enough to open its doors to the community and allow the children to experience life on a farm. It was such a neat experience for a city girl to see such a magnificent farm. Joey really enjoyed himself and Emma did great sleeping. It was hot and humid, but worth the tour.
We had a fun hay ride around the farm and saw the future apple orchards, wheat fields, the corn maze for the fall, a local garden, and the rolling hills. Joey loved the big wheels on the tractor and didn't mind the hard hay that kept poking his booty.
I have to say that his favorite part was grinding the dried corn to be able to feed the chickens. The young man helping had to actually put some away so that Joey would stop getting the corn.

He kept feeding those chickens but he got pecked at a few times. He quickly forgave them and kept giving them their feed.
He did not like to feed the goats though. His little friend, Sara was more fearless than he was.



But he loved to see "Olivia" roll around the mud.
