First stop, choosing our pumpkins! Though some of us wanted to take home the largest pumpkins we could possibly find, the baby pumpkins wound up being the cutest (and easiest to carry)! Sorry Ryan, you must find a more suitable pumpkin :)
Next stop on our tour...pony rides!! Ride 'em cowboys and cowgirls! Another mode of transportation used in rural communities. We are all smiles!
After we got up close and personal with the ponies, it was time to moo-ve on to the cows! The highlight of the trip was getting to milk a real, live cow! Although a few of us opted out of this rural experience, most of us did an utterly good job of milking it! Where do you think your milk comes from boys and girls?!
Then it was time to visit the smartest farm animal, and ironically also the cleanest farm animal...the pigs! Oink, oink!! Check out the mother sow! She weighs in at over 400 pounds! Look at all of the baby pigs in the litter though! Only one of the small, pink babies was awake during our visit, but the "pig pen" was still a cool sight to see!
While most of the pigs rested, Class 2-H headed over to the hayride! Tractors are very important on farms, and farm life would be devastatingly hard without them!
Finally, our last stop on the tour brought us to the sheep! Here, we got to feed the furry animals! The sheep were so gentle and cute!
Before we come to the end of our November Campus Connection, please enjoy some more happy faces below!! We are loving life on a farm!
Thank you for taking a virtual tour with us, as we reflected back on yesterday's farm life experience. Class 2-H definitely had a blast peeking at life in a rural community. We hope you enjoyed watching our field trip unfold on your screen as much as we did in real life! Time for us to explore other community types and to compare/contrast life in each setting.
Stay tuned for Monsters University Campus Connection 4!
