Every spring, the kindergarten classes in my building take a field trip to a local petting farm called Green Meadows. And every year, the teachers come back with brochures that they stick in my mailbox, telling me I "have to take the girls."
Well, finally, we did! A few months back, Groupon (love!) ran an admission deal. We bought it, kinda forgot about it, then realized it expired... tomorrow. So, we packed up the girls this morning and headed out there. What a fun day! The weather was great. It wasn't crowded. The staff was super friendly. The place was immaculate. The best part? Everything was wide open. The children are encouraged to pet, feed, and play with the animals. With just a few exceptions, all animal pens are open to the kids. The girls really had a great time. If you live in the area- go check it out!

Love Hattie's face in this one!
Baby chicks....
Lucy's not so sure she wants to hold a duck...
...she finally thought she'd give it a try... "but not hold it's feet, okay?"
Maggie was all about PETTING these bunnies- but she sure didn't want to hold one!
