Farm Camp

I have some catching up to do! Let me backtrack a bit to August. The week before Jessi's birthday, Katie went to day camp at Upland Hills Farm with her best friend. She had the BEST time there! The kids started each morning doing chores around the farm, mostly with baby farm animals. Then they did crafts like tie-dyeing t-shirts, and activities like riding horses or searching for critters in the swamp. After lunch, they all took a tractor/wagon ride to the lake to swim and play in the mud. One night she stayed for the cookout, bonfire, and songs, and went home with her BFF for a sleepover. She came home every day chatting endlessly about all the fun things she had done all day long! On Friday I came early to take pics of her and Megan around the farm.


Katie in the calf pen, Megan on the fence. Katie's wearing the t-shirt she tie-dyed at camp earlier in the week.



Katie snuggling with a calf. She loved feeding them bottles of milk.



Katie and Meg with the sheep.



Katie with the piglets - these guys were ravenous and would suck on anything! They downed their bottles fast.



Katie snuggling with a kitty. The "kitty condo" was THE most popular part of the farm, especially with the girls.



Katie and her best friend Molly with kitties. (Molly is in her class again this year - yay!)



Megan with a kitten. Megan could have stayed there all day, snuggling with cats.




Megan and a milking cow.



Katie with a goat.



Megan's not so sure of the goat.



Katie and one of her favorite horses. She LOVED riding, even though this one was fast and would only trot.



I'm sure we'll be back at Upland Hills Farm next year for another week of farm camp! She had a blast!
