evening chores

I signed us up for an "evening chores" program at the farm. It was a lot of fun! The kids haven't been very excited about playing outside or going to the farm lately, but this was enough motivation.

Checking out some baby goats:

The kids got to help feed the chickens and collect the eggs. Because of the different breeds, the eggs were all different colors!

They fed hay to the sheep, then got to pet them.

They also got to feed the cows hay by dropping it from a hatch upstairs in the barn, that was fun! At the end they got to try a Finnish pancake that we had put in the oven before doing chores.
