Sam and I had the privilege of accompanying Abbey and the 1st grade class at Petra Academy as they went to the local dairy farm. it was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time. Here are a few photos.

They started out listening to the farmer's wife Mrs. Klompien as she told about how the dairy farm worked.





Then they went to go see the animals. Sam latched on to one of the little girl's hands as they walked.













They all got to see a calf which had just been born but had not stood up for the first time. We have a video of it trying the first time but then settling back into the straw.





I think their favorite part was a toss up between bottle feeding the calves and getting ice cream at the end.
