Visiting the Farm Museum

Saturday was moving day for Heather and Andrew.  I was going to try to be there to help, but Laura and Aaron also wanted to help.  As Laura is stronger and more able to carry around boxes, I said I would watch the girls and she could help.  I think I got the better end of that deal!
So the girls came overnight.  We had to go to my Dad's to get his meds set up, and then we made another fun stop!  Their is a Farm Museum about 15 minutes from our house.  They were having a petting zoo on Saturday, so I took the girls.


 The farm museum.



 We entered through the silo.  The view looking up was pretty cool!



 There were lots of little animals to see; chickens, goats, lambs and bunnies.  The girls loved the bunnies best!



They liked watching this little one eat a carrot.


 There were even little rats there.  Ruby wasn't too sure about them, and I must admit I feel the same way!


This activity board showed how corn comes from the field to a cereal box.


 There were other fun things to do, like making a chicken in a nest.



Here's Ruby with hers.


 The thing they liked best was making their own soap.



They made it and them got to come back in 20 minutes to pick it up.


They were both proud of their soaps!


 Outside was a sheep being sheared.



 Look at all that wool!  He looked pretty skinny when he was done.



There was even a young cow.  Alaina liked him, Ruby didn't want to go to close.

There was also face painting, but it had a very long wait.  After standing in line for a while and not moving, I persuaded the girls to let me do it for them at home.


Butterflies on the cheeks = happy girls!

The move went well.  Bob and I went after he got out of work to help put some things together and do a little unpacking.  Such a good day!
