Critter Barn

Corban had his first field trip this week.  Troy took the day off from work and went with Corban and his class!  They headed to the Critter Barn here in Zeeland.  They learned lots of different facts about animals and lots of interesting things that Corban didn't know before.  The weather wasn't the best, it was cold and raining all day.  Corban still had a blast and was super excited that his Dad got to come with him!
Here are all the things that Corban said he got to do:
~Feed Baby Goats
~Milk a goat
~Held baby chicks
~Tour of the barns and animals
~Held Chickens, walked through the two chicken coups and learned about the ventalation systems.
~Billy Goats
~Planted a soybean and talked about the feed they use
~Tour of the tack and feed room.
~Feed the goats
~Went in the angora pen
~Visited the old fashion chicken coup and feed the chickens
~Watched a video on pigs
~Held rabbits
~Held Ducks
~Played with the cats
~Learned and brought home angora yarn

Here are some pics!

Troy said Corban was bent down and got his head bumped pretty good by a horn!

  1. sounding like lots of fun. I look forward to field trips. I must say I would send Bill on that trip though since I am allergic to all the animals!
