Farm Week

Our theme for last week was farm animals. We spent the week reading books about farms, identifying animals and animal sounds, and working puzzles. The petting zoo at the library fit in perfectly. On Friday, we went on a field trip to the Happy Cow Creamery in Pelzer. It is a full-working dairy farm. It definitely smells like a farm, and there is dried manure where the cows have walked. We did get some on the tires. Jackson thought it was hilarious. That is all he wanted to talk about: "cow poop on the wheels." He did enjoy tasting the cheese in the store and eating ice cream. We finally got him to milk the wooden cow. Ha!

Then we headed to Chick-fil-A for Cow Appreciation Day. If you dress like a cow, you get a free entree/meal. Noni, Jackson, Brooks, and I dressed up to get our free food. We had lots of fun!

On Saturday, we went to Roper Mountain for the Blueberry Festival. It was cloudy but cool. We had just gotten to the farm area when it started pouring. Jackson loved getting wet. He also loved the cow and calf. We spent most of our time in the science center looking at the animals. he is very cautious and not want to touch any. Brooks enjoyed the hike and being in the stroller.

We had a great time during farm week. I think Jackson will always remember the "cow poop on the wheels." That is all he has talked about!
