Kelsey Creek Farm

The boys had a school field trip to Kelsey Creek Farm this week to coincide with the weekly theme- Farm week. We were taken on a private tour of the farm and the boys got to pet a pony, goat, rabbit and sheep, and got to feed wheat to the chickens.




This was the funniest moment of the tour - when Sam was checking out the goat's bum.









 




After the tour, the class then did a craft and made sheep out of wool sheered from the farm's sheep, a pine cone, pipe cleaners and googly eyes. The boys loved brushing the wool smooth with these tools.






The best part of the field trip, however, was probably the awesome playground on the farm. The boys played here before and after the tour and I had to pull them away.

Happy Easter!

We were blessed with perfect weather on Saturday for our annual community Easter Egg Hunt at Centennial Fields. It was our third or fourth time participating in the event and it was the busiest we've ever seen it with an estimated 1,000 people in attendance.





The boys waited patiently at the 4-6 year old field for the Easter Bunny's arrival on the Snoqualmie Fire Engine. To pass the time, Sam dug up this earthworm and thought it would make a great addition to his basket. Then the Easter Bunny gave the signal and 10,000 eggs were snatch up in about 15 seconds. If only they could put their toys away this fast.

 






We celebrated Easter Day at home with another egg hunt and I don't know who had more fun- Ross and I hiding the eggs or Wyatt and Sam finding them.
