centennial farm

March 27
parkday goes to the farm. with the first photo i was annoyed that the sign was so high. then i turned and noticed right behind me there was a lower one. hence the group photo.


we saw model pigs and cows, then the real things.


jojo found this yoke and was so excited because we're reading farmer boy (of the little house series) and almanzo, the main character, has just received a yoke from his dad to start to break his first couple oxen. this trip to the farm came at the perfect time, because the boys are really into the book which talks all about everything we're seeing today!
the kids got to see a lamb and goats and baby pigs all born in the last 2 months.
we also saw a bull.
as with every other trip this month, we incorporated our "reader rally". so today we checked out farm books at the tustin, mesa verde (costa mesa), and garden grove west branches. this was the end of the line for us. we've had a great time and i now have several libraries that i'd like to visit regularly that i would have never found were it not for the rally. :)
