I was fortunate to be selected to go on Chase and Owen's field trip to Gale Hills Farm. It was late October, but already cold. I drove to school and Chase and Owen were so excited to see me! We had a blast on the bus. The farmer allowed the kids to go into the field with 2 cows and a bunch of sheep. The kids ran all over chasing the sheep. The cows were eating round bales with some sheep and I thought it was weird she told the kids they could be in there with the cows. I watched as Chase went up to the sheep and cow and almost got kicked in the head by the cow. I figured they were tame. I asked the farmer and she was alarmed, saying the cows usually ran away. Oops.
They got to touch the cow
