Jaxson's fieldtrip

Jaxson's class went to Grandpa Tiny's farm in Frankenmuth. It was fun, even though it was little chilly. We were able to see some fun animals, Jaxson went on a horse pulled wagon ride and we lined up using their Boer buck to breed with our does. It was a very productive time. Now we just have to fix our fencing so it will be good enough to keep in a buck, then we will go get him. I'm hoping to get him this coming Saturday. Here are some pictures of the event.
This is Jaxson and his friend Max in the chicken coop.

These are the horses that pulled the wagon.

This is Jaxson petting one of the goslings. The woman who was showing us the animals explained that with this particular breed of goose, the male goslings have light bills and the females have dark bills. We were reading a farm story today and it had some baby swans in the story. Jaxson pointed at one of them and said that because of its dark bill it was a girl. I was so impressed that he had remembered.
