I will be attending a 4-H Farm Camp in July.
While there I will learn things from tacking up and riding a horse...















to learning about processing & cleaning Angora Goat Fiber.







I will also be assigned a dairy goat; which I will be responsible for milking, feeding, everyday care & even learn how to show her.



And don't forget... I'm also assigned my very own "kid" (baby goat) for the week!






I will learn how to make blacksmith items in a forge


and even make cheese, butter, and ice cream.
I'll learn about bees and get to make my own beeswax lip balm.
And of course... much, MUCH more!

I'm going to have so much fun and I can't wait for the week to start. I will even be keeping my own blog updated for the week. Please follow my blog so you can see all the things I'm doing and learning.
We can even come to family day on the farm...for free! I know that I'll want to introduce all my family to each of the animals on the
farm.
Family Day On The Farm: August 6th 8-10am 2011

friday

Today was awesome. I got chased by Stephen, who had a death glare in his eyes. It ended up I throwing horse poop and running away from him. I also made pizza, dough, and a bracelet. While I made the bracelet I accidentally hit myself a whole bunch of times. In a conclusion, my day was pretty fun.

Thursday

Today was a bit out of the ordinary. A girl named Caroline was riding today and her & the horse ran right through a closed electric gate... guess they should have opened it first! Nobody got hurt... but now we have to fix the gate.

We also got to throw hay to the horses. There was a Llama that had to be sheared. And lots more!

Tuesday

Today I did many chores, and even went to a creek in the woods. We also rode horses, I got to ride in the pasture instead of in the arena today.

First Day

Hello pepos, was today the most awesome day ever? Yes it was. I said no to going on a disney cruise just to come to this camp. I held a baby goat a lot today. My favorite baby goats are Black Cherry, Rasberry, Black Berry, and Pineapple.
