Field Trip to Slide Ranch


Eva and Eli had their twice yearly visit to Slide Ranch. It was one of those mysteriouly foggy days. The group gathered on the bluff above the Pacific Ocean. The light was ethereal. The children were all happy and actively engaged in the day. We began the morning with circle time as the appointed intructor led the chidren through some activities. The first stop was milking the goats. Our group did not get to milk Hilda, our favorite but Clemintine was quite a beauty. Both E + E did their part. Next stop, the field to meet the newest additions to the farm - the baby goats. The instructors came out with bottles of the milk we gathered and let the children feed the babies. They were so eager and freindly to their surrogate parents. We visited the bees, the chickens and the garden. We ended the day with a nice lunch overlooking the ocean.
