The farm

Isabel had a field trip last week to Benton Farms.  It's a family owned farm handed down through several generations.  The kids got to learn about jobs all the farm animals do, feed sheep, milk a cow, collect eggs, shear a sheep, take a hay ride, and learn about how bees make honey.  They got to pet a little lamb that was born just the day before, and let me tell you the mama was not a happy camper.  She wanted her baby back.  I was privileged to be able to go along with her class.  It's always fun to meet the friends I often hear about at home but don't get to see much.
