The day before Halloween, the neighborhood kids went to visit Turner farm - thanks to Holly for planning the outing. This was a very educational trip for the kids and parents for that matter. First, we loaded two wagon-fulls of kids and adults and headed out for a hayride to the turnip patch. The farmers proceeded to tell us that it was mating season for the sheep and that they needed turnips for energy (or something like that). They let the kids loose in the patch and they found a ton of turnips - the boys loved this part. After we picked the turnips we headed out to feed the sheep. The sheet were very friendly, but the farmers told us not to make too many sudden movements because it could literally scare the sheep to death. Seriously? We were with like 14 kids under the age of four... Luckily no sheep died that day and they seemed to enjoy eating the turnips. I am sure they will be good and pregnant soon. Next we went over to see the momma pig and her little piglets - they were so cute. Finally, we went to the pumpkin patch and although it was extremely picked over - we managed to get some cute little pumpkins as souvenirs.
