Farm Walk

This past weekend we ventured over to Pierce College, a local junior college, that opened up it's farm for the public to see as a fundraising event for the agricultural school there. They call it the Farm Walk. We thought it would be fun to take Bennett to see the farm since both our moms come from farming backgrounds. He loved the animals and the wide open space. The farm at the college has 225 acres of farm land in the middle of suburbia here. They had sheep, goats, cows, chickens, horses, hay rides, BBQ, music, and lots of open space to run. They had demonstrations on sheep shearing, wool spinning, etc. They also play Cowpie Bingo where you buy a temporary deed to a plot of land and they set a cow loose in the pasture. If the cow plops on your plot of land you win money. Hilarious! We had to play! We didn't win though. Bennett really seemed to have fun. Poor Dan had worked about 24 hours straight through the night before due to a power outage at work, but he went anyways, then came back and slept most of the afternoon. Oh and he was also horribly sick with a bad cold. He wins points for being a good dad!
