A trip to the farm

We took a field trip to Sunnybrook Farm in Red Deer on Friday - and the weather gods finally smiled on us!  The kids had a great time playing on the farm in the sunshine!  First stop was the milking barn to learn all about how the pioneers got their milk from cows.  The kids even got to give it a try for themselves!

Then it was onto the Blacksmith's shop to learn all about building tools from steel.

Next we checked out some big old farm machinery and learned about how it was used to grow and harvest crops.

And of course, a visit with the farm's animals - definitely one of the highlights for the kids.

A wagon ride around the farm followed by a barrel train ride for the kids and some playtime at the park wrapped up our day!

Sunnybrook Farms is a great place to visit and great fun for the kids!  Check it out next time you're looking for something to do in Red Deer!
