ICP Visits Bountiful Farm

Every year a family on Bainbridge Island opens up their farm to our classes to come and visit. We have been doing this for many years, and it is such a special day.

The farm itself is absolutely gorgeous.

We walk beside the stream, and look into the pond. The Dolphins and Orcas both found a frog while they were there. The Orcas watched the frog jump across the grass and into the pond, and they got to watch it swim away, pushing with it's strong back legs.

Sometimes the farm kitty came out. The Penguins loved this.

We fed the cows,

even the Mama cow and her little calf.

Sometimes these big farm animals were scary, so it was ok to stand far away and look on from a distance.

We visited the horses bedrooms (the stalls) and even took a turn cleaning up the horse manure.

Here the Orca class is mooing to get the cows to come up the field.

Back at school the Sea Otter pretended they were cows. They built a fenced pasture where they had hay, water, and beds.

This is a Mama cow. He even let us milk him and use his milk to make ice cream@

When the fence got broken, these handy cows fixed it with their hammers.
