Hidden Villa

Today we headed to Hidden Villa for a field trip. We usually go later in the spring, but Teacher Angie wanted to head up there now since all the animals just had babies...great chance to see them up close and meet them. I am sure glad we did, they were so cute!

It was a gorgeous spring morning, and not chilly at all. We had sweatshirts on, and didn't need a jacket. The boys were in heaven as we got to see so many animals. Our tour guide was the best yet, she was so sweet with the kids, and G was by her side the whole time. Oh, and Grandma Phyllis was in our group, so Gavin could not have been more happy! (Grandma Phyllis is Teacher Angie's mother in law. She comes to class sometimes to sing and play music...more on that later!)

We got to see so many animals and pet them...pig with her babies, cow with her calf, chickens, lambs, and a few others. The babies were sooo cute.

We ended the day in the garden where we got to taste a lot of things including Gavin's favorite, the steel cut oats.

After "class" we headed over to the grass area to sing with Grandma Phyllis. A little history. Gavin is in love with her. He has been telling her for a while now that he wanted to play his drums while she sang at class. This was the day! Teacher Angie told us it was a perfect day for it. Gavin helped Grandma Phyllis set up everything, and he played his drums while she sang. SO CUTE. Of course all of his classmates wanted a turn, and he let each one play. He even helped some who did not know what to do. I was so proud that he did so well sharing.
