FHE at Wheeler Farm

Last night it was my turn to do FHE. I have really wanted to start doing things around Utah when we have the time since we are leaving when Todd finishes school next year. One of the things that I wanted to do was to go to Wheeler Farm. Andrew loves animals, especially farm animals. When I found out that you could milk a cow and go on a tractor drawn wagon ride, I thought it would be a very fun Family Home Evening for our family. We decided to go up to Wheeler Farm, walk around, go on the wagon ride, milk the cow, and then have a picnic and a lesson. Andrew was so excited when I told him we were going to go see animals. We met Todd's mom at the farm; we thought she would enjoy seeing Andrew interact with the animals.

We walked around the farm.
Andrew sat on a wagon.
And we saw turkeys.
Todd, Andrew, and Rory looked at the goats.
Todd and Rory saw a cow,

and so did Andrew.
Todd and Andrew fed some geese, until...
they got too close for comfort and Andrew freaked out a little.He felt much more comfortable with these geese because there was a fence between him and them.
Rory enjoyed the wagon ride...it put her to sleep.
Andrew and I enjoyed the wagon ride too, even though he didn't really want to sit still.

Andrew liked the donkey. It makes a funny noise.
We saw rabbits,

pigs,

and even a rat; Todd said it was Templeton from Charlotte's Web.
Andrew and I fed a horse.

And he had a blast driving the tractor.

And we all took turns milking Leslie the holstein cow.
Andrew and I played in a tree house.
And Rory decided to grace us with her presene just as we were getting ready to leave. We all had a great time at Wheeler Farm for our Family Home Evening.
