Field Trip - Riverview Greenhouse

The kids from Au Chapeau got to visit the greenhouse.  They went on a tour and got to see various plants - they were able to feel the leaves and the dirt and ask questions.  Then, in the back of the green house is a petting zoo.  It was a hit!

 They had a bunch of stale ice cream cones to feed the animals with in the zoo.  There wasn't a huge collection but it was fun.  The rabbits pretty much stayed hidden.

Nathan liked the ducks.

The billy goat, Nan, was a bit of a rascal.

I was impressed with the decor.  The grain elevator had ramps built up on the other side and all the animals, billy goats, rabbits, chickens, etc. could climb up and hang out if they wanted to.

In the main portion of the store live a macaw and a cockatiel.  They aren't super friendly but the kids enjoyed watching them be fed blackberries and lettuce.
