This past Tuesday, April 20th, Aidan, with Mom in tow, had his second school field trip of the year. The destination: The very lovely Coverdale Farm in Greenville, DE.
Coverdale Farm, part of the Delaware Nature Society, covers over 229 acres. The farm and its caretakers use pigs, chickens, sheep (Aidan's favorite), and cows to teach the kids about the cycle of life as it pertains to the farm.
According to Mom:
According to Mom:
Aidan and his classmates learned the names of the mommy animals and their babies, got to pet some chicks, a cow, and some sheep, and even got to feed the sheep. The kids were farmers for the day and had the job of checking to make sure that all the animals had their food, water, and a place to rest. They loved washing their hands all at the same time at the long watering trough rigged with a sprinkler. It was a beautiful day.
