Our week in K was 'MOOOO-valous!" as we continued our farm unit and focused on one of our favorite farm animals: cows. The highlight of the week by farm was our visit to Fog Willow Farm where we got to feed a goat, sheer a sheep, pet a bunny, hold an egg straight from the chicken coop, and of course pick a pumpkin.
Here's a closer look at what we did ...
