Painted Pony Fieldtrip

There is one place in town that I have been wanting to take Jeremy to for quite a while but have never had the opportunity and that is the Painted Pony. I was so happy when I found out Jeremy's class was having their end of the year field trip here. I took the day off of work to spend the day with my boy and it was so much fun!We started by heading to the barn to learn a little about farm animals and we even got to feed a few.The goats made Jeremy really nervous!We fed Calvin the cow... and Calvin the boy got to feed Calvin the cow too. Ha ha!Jeremy really liked Daryl the Donkey. I think that was Jeremy's favorite animal. I guess Daryl wasn't quite as intimidating as some of the other animals.Next stop was to paint the pony, Charlie. Well, I guess Charlie isn't really a pony, but it sounds better than paint the really big horse. I don't remember what kind of horse this is, but I think he's half-Clydesdale.Jeremy and Katie were the first two. And, yes, I am standing on a step stool taking pictures from OVER the horse. Mrs. Daleen and Mrs. Kristen got in on the painting action too. I think Mrs. Kristen wanted to paint Daleen more than she wanted to paint the pony!And here is the end result. By the way, Charlie loves to take baths!Last we took a short hayride around the farm.

Great end of the year field trip. I'll bet Jeremy will always remember it.
