Julia's trip to the farm

Julia's school goes monthly to a farm that is about 15 minutes away from our house.  There is a kibbutz and a hotel and spa along with this farm all on one big piece of land.  The farm is an ecology center that runs summer camps and educational pieces for schools like Julia's preschool.  You can check out the farm on the website www.krr.co.il   Julia and Thomas had to wake up early today so that we could meet her teachers at her school at 7 and follow them to the farm.  It wasn't too hard to do and now I'm sure I could get there by myself next month (or maybe earlier for a massage!).  Julia loved it!  There were goats, chickens, sheep, ducks, turtles, rabbits, mice, etc for her to watch and feed.  She was a little scared of the chickens freely running around but loved the rest.  I stayed for about 20 minutes as more parents and kids arrived.  Next time I'll bring my camera and take pictures.  I left her there with her backpack and car seat. Her class stayed at the farm for a few hours and then piled all the kids and their car seats into a minibus and drove them back to school.  Julia will go there throughout the year and see how the farm changes during the seasons as well as other ecological lessons such as recycling and composting.  It sounds awesome.
