May Day Celebration

Going around the May Pole

We were fortunate to have gorgeous, sunny weather on Saturday for our May Day celebration!  At noon, all of the kiddos grabbed streamers on the May Pole and walked around it while Farmer David sang "Old MacDonald" and other classic farm tunes while he strummed a guitar.  The kids always have so much fun wrapping the May Pole in these colorful streamers!  

Visitors got to enjoy hay rides around the farm

Before and after the May Pole celebration, Farmer David took groups on hay-wagon tours of the farm.  We also had seed-planting set up - kiddos could plant bean seeds and take them home!  Our scavenger hunt was also popular this year, and we find that it's a great way for children to get familiarized with the various plants & animals on the farm.

Happy May Day!

Farmer Micah was super excited to go outside in the morning and find that colorful streamers had sprung up from the May Pole. :)  It's such a fun tradition.

All in all, it was a fantastic and joyful day, and we're truly thankful that we had so many wonderful friends of the farm here to celebrate the coming of spring with us.
