For a preschool field trip (in the middle of May), we went to the Farm at Thanksgiving Point.  I was glad that Steve was able to come with us that day, its always so helpful.  The kids had a great time looking at the animals, feeding them, riding the ponies and especially just running around. 

There was a peacock there that had it's feathers all fluffed out for over a minute straight.  It was definitely trying to impress a female that was in the same cage, though he was denied in the end.  Brinton and Thayne ran off on their own and caused us to search all over for them.  When we found them, Thayne said, "I was not lost because I just wanted to see the sheep."  Good to know!  They both got a little talking to about running off without an adult.  Most of the boys ended up riding the ponies twice.  Brinton had to choose the largest horse both times, even when there were kids bigger than him going in the same group.  No one seemed to care, which was nice.  They had a great time and I always love visiting the farm.
