Our MOPS group planned an outing to the South 47 Farm in Redmond, WA. I’d heard of it, but hadn’t checked it out yet. In spite of a little rain and mud (or maybe because of it), we had a good time. The Farm Tots program gave Bethany the opportunity to:

Pet a chicken. This particular hen is 5 months old. If we had been coming to the farm since spring, we would have seen her grow from a hatchling. Her feathers were wet from the rain; her comb feels like a gummi bear; and her legs are very hard and a little scaly. Pretty cool.

Go on a hayride. We saw corn stalks, changing leaves, pumpkins, lots of birds and a daddy scarecrow with his baby scarecrow.

Play with pumpkins. We were allowed to pick two kohlrabi bulbs to take home as well. (I’d never tried kohlrabi. Surprisingly yummy!)

Watch the animals. There was a pen with two alpacas, three pygmy goats, a few ducks ducks and some chickens. The animals were Bethany’s favorite part. Well, almost…
