This morning, I went with Hazel's class on a field trip to a local farm. We spent the morning learning about cows, sheep, collie dogs (that herd the sheep) and learned how to make butter. The class had a great time and as always, I love spending time with Hazel. We don't get much time with just the two of us. We learned about wool, and even made bracelets out of wool. We went on a long hayride watched the dog round up to sheep. That was pretty neat!
Hazel and her friends petting the baby cow. I guess they're called calfs, right? Notice Carsyn behind Hazel holding her nose...the farm scent was very strong!

This lady explained about the sheep's wool and how to cut it and how it is used to make many things
The calf was only 5 days old!

I would hate to make this heifer mad!
