Fieldtrip In Detail:
Farmer Sue meets you at the front gate for a quick set of rules that will have everyone giggling, then we head thru the magic wishing arch to start the day. - (we encourage everyone to take a moment and make a wish from their heart for something good)

Next we hop to Rabbit Ranch to meet the Flemish Giant Bunnies who live there -- weighing in some where between 15 & 20 pounds. If we have a large group we will divide in half at this point. Half will explore Rabbit Ranch while the other half is on the hayride, then swap. From there we head for the back of the barn yard where we will take a Barnyard Parade as a group. Farmer Sue introduces the animals and we will learn some fun facts about them. When our barnyard parade ends we will divide into smaller groups, get our brushes and get busy meeting, petting, holding and brushing all the critters.

There is Violette the potbelly pig, some super cool fancy chickens - we will pick up these feathery friends and pet them - rooster, hens, chicks and eggs. Next... we will meet Elle and Ernie the donkies, RC the handsomest bull intown, BaahBaah Black sheep, a couple of silly goats Maggie & Shadow, Strawberry the miniature horse (she is 27.5 inches at the shoulder - she is precious!) next is Jenny our mini-donkey and finally .... our delightful ducks.

From here we head for Mr. McGregors Garden or into TheArtBarn to do some nature art (15-30 mins - depending on age of child and art project).

This part of the day takes about 2 1/4 hours. Hopefully your schedule will permit a picnic after which we do a fun interactive story time. Finally its time to say good bye to the animals, collect our art projects and take home a memory.
