Children's Farm

While reading Charlotte's Web this summer, we decided to visit the Maymont Children's Farm so that the story would come more alive for Aiden.

We even made a checklist of animals that were found in the book to see how many we could find at the barn.

{Daddy and Aiden looking over the checklist. Love this silhouette.}

{Pig, check!}

{Though quite possibly the ugliest pig that I've ever seen! Certainly no Wilbur!}

{Rooster, check!} 

{Sheep, check!}

{Goat, check!}

We also saw several other animals and birds that the barn is caring for, such as foxes, bears, eagles, hawks, and more!

We searched for Charlotte too, but she seemed to be out for the day! We could only find empty, abandoned webs! 

The boys are now quite in to spiders and webs, and we've found several intricate ones just in our backyard, which has been fun!

Looking forward to our next chapter book, Ramona the Pest.
