Crow's Nest Farm


Tatum and I went on our first ever field trip together, along with all the other kindergarteners. We rode the bus to Crow's Nest Farm and saw some of the coolest creatures we've ever seen outside of a book. We had a picnic on the grounds while a peacock strutted around looking for crumbs. There was every kind of owl, turtle, and chicken we knew of along with ostriches, emus, goats, pigs, cows, and donkeys. Did you know that an ostrich must sit on its eggs for 50 hours before they hatch? Did you know it takes 15 minutes to milk a cow by hand but only 2 minutes to milk her mechanically? Did you know that artichokes look like giant thistles when they bloom? Did you know Emus growl? Neither did we!
