Celebrating Spring at Nash Farm

After the Blastball game, we went to a birthday party for some of Nicholas' friends. Nicholas enjoyed a sandwich, a piece of cake, and lots of fun playing outside with his friends. He even got to see some friends that were in his class at school last year. He remembered them right away and played with them as if they hadn't been apart for almost a year.

After the party, we went dropped in on the last part of a Spring celebration at Nash Farm. The farm was purchased in the early 1800's by the Nash family and is now a wonderful education spot to learn about animals and farm life.

We got to speak with a real beekeeper and Nicholas loved looking at the protective clothing that he was wearing. We looked at a little hive of bees and got to touch a real honeycomb. We learned about pollination and even got to taste some fresh honey. Yum!









Next Nicholas planted cantaloupe seeds. He was given a little peet pot and he got to decorate it with markers and stickers. Then he scooped some dirt into it and planted his seeds. Finally we gave it some water. He got to take the little pot home to grow. We will try to remember to water it everyday (fingers crossed).





Nicholas enjoyed playing on this old tractor until Mommy realized that the little pink sign on the front of it instructs us not to play on the equipment. Whoops!



We stopped for some lunch before moving on to the petting zoo. Nicholas enjoyed a hot dog and juice box.





The petting zoo was fun. We got to see baby goats being fed. They were only 4 days old! How sweet!





Before we left the farm, we had to hop on the hay ride.



Nicholas was happy just playing with the hay on the floor of the wagon. Look at his smile (and the ketchup on his face and the juice on his shirt). This little boy has had a fun day!
