Schools out for summer...

Yesterday was my sisters birthday and the day that Hadley received her first report card.  We couldn't be more proud of her efforts over the year and the growth we have seen.
It is unusual for me that she received her report card two days before the end of school but whatever.
Today I was so blessed to be able to attend Hadley's school trip to the Found Famiy Farm in Coutice.

It was so exciting to me.  Brian was able to watch Easton and Hadley and I had a girls day!
There were 5 moms that went in a car on the way there and on the way back I was able to switch with another mom and ride in the bus with Hadley.  I felt so glad to be able to join her on a school trip.
We arrived at the farm and the afternoon started with an information session that was perfectly suited to kindergarten kids.  Basically telling them that everything they eat, starts on a farm.
We then broke up into morning and afternoon classes.  Our class went on the hay ride first.  This was an informative ride about tractors, grain, corn, hay, and soil.  Hadley loved sitting on the bails.
Then we went to the learning barn.  Here we saw 5 day old piglets, fuzzy yellow chicks, a cow, chickens, goats, and sheep.
Hadley was able to pet the piglet, goat, sheep, chicken and hold a baby chick.  So cute.
I was so proud of her.  She was confident, sharing, and nice to her peers.  It was lovely to watch.
The farm was a very natural setting for her which I love and I would definitely recommend this farm for other schools.
One more day and then Hadley will be on summer holidays for the first time!
