A Mint Day Out!

“A Mint Day Out!” as one Beaver put it.

As the song goes… Oh, What a Perfect Day! Beavers met up bright and early for a smashing visit to the farm. We fed pigs, goats and sheep, llamas and donkeys to name a few and had lots of giggling as the animals licked the food off our hands. We even got to see a lamb being born. Amazing! When asked how we could tell it was a boy lamb one of the Beavers piped up “because it’s got short hair!”

We played in the adventure playground and on the zipwire for ages and had hot chocolate in the café. After our packed lunches we went back round the farm to check on the newborns and another go in the playground before strolling down through the snowy parkland to the frozen river. We fed the ducks and geese with bread and then played in the snow for ages before heading back to the shop with just enough time for ice cream before parents arrived.

I’ve ordered the Explore badges so should be able to hand those out at Beavers this week as well as investing some of the children.
