Visiting the animals

On Saturday Elise and I went on a field trip with the Early Childhood program. We got on a bus at the school, and rode about 30 minutes to Crookston where there is a branch of the University of Minnesota. UMC has an agricultural focus and two of the students there took us on a tour through the horse barn, beef barn, dairy barn, sheep barn and horticulture building. We had a great time. Elise was a little disappointed that she couldn't pet more animals. She is used to seeing animals at the fair, which are very tame because they are handled and shown. But these animals are not show animals and were much more wary of people. She did get to pet a lamb, and we got a couple of the cows to come up to us.
