Farm Experts

Today we decided to head to the mall for some family fun. Our first stop was Auntie Anne's for a free pretzel. Luckily I had seen on FB that they were doing that today. Following that the kids got to see the Cat in the Hat who was there for a "Read across America" event. Well you can't go to the mall without loitering at the Apple Store for an hour or so playing on there toys so off we went. On our walk there we saw a Farm Bureau booth with a spinning game the kids wanted to play. So you spin the wheel, it lands on a question and depending if you get it right or not you get a gift.

Question 1: "how do you measure a horse?"

Ethan: "by your hands". CORRECT

Question 2: "what do you call a baby goat?"

All children: (blank stares)

Mom: "it is something you all are."

Ryan: "pigs!!"

Mom & Dad: (laughter - and exclaim YES! but that is not right!)

Mom: "the answer is kid." CORRECT

Question 3: "What do you call a female chicken?"

Ryan: "a hen." CORRECT

Question 4: "What do you call a baby horse?"

Brinley: "a colt." CORRECT. The answer could have been foal, colt or filly depending on specifics.

All four children left with a spray hand sanitizer and a foam farm tractor (like a stress ball). Good thing since we were off to the Apple Store where germs are on steroids!!

So after mingling at the Apple Store we decided to hit the road. Fun times at the mall, especially when everything is FREE!! You can't say that everyday!

Pictures coming!
