Right when we arrived we were asked if we'd like to go out to a field with a portable chicken coop to collect the eggs. J said, "Yes!". What do you think B said?
B was happier when he saw all the eggs in the coop.
I'm not sure that the chickens were excited to see us.
Look at all those eggs. Makes me want an omelet!
We washed the eggs and then went into the barn to see the animals.
The one black sheep was J's favorite.
This is Marx. He's a 1 month old brown Swiss bull calf. 
This milking cow stuck her tongue out at me when no-one was looking.
Then it was on to see the chicks and the chickens. J finally picked up a chicken. She's been wanting to for a while but I think she's been a little scared until today. As you can see, she was awfully excited! 
We had so much fun that we decided to get a membership. We'll be back!
What a beautiful farm. I love the one month old bull calf, so adorable! Collecting eggs from the chicken coop is always satisfying!
ReplyDeleteI love Shelburne Farms-haven't been there in a long time. Thanks for your comment on my blog. It is fun to see yours!
ReplyDeleteI love the portable chicken coop - we've been working on our coop all week.
ReplyDeleteThe farm looks like a great place to spend the day.
I would love to visit a place like Shelburne Farms. How fun that you can get a membership!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos! Your kids look like they are having a blast! We need a school like that around here. :)
ReplyDeleteSo cool!
ReplyDeleteOur historic farm doesn't let you pet and feed... this one looks awesome.
We have a similiar post. Isn't life full of wonder!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what has been happening by the maple tree lately?????
ReplyDeletehow wonderful! i think a membership to a farm is much healthier than a membership to a gym.
