Today our field trip took us to an organic farm that specialized in earthworms.

Here's Gigi contemplating the adventure ahead of her.

That's Emi on the cart.  Gigi was curious as to what Emi was up to.  I think Gigi wanted a ride.  :

My little explorer is going off on her own.  She crossed the pond where these huge frogs are raised for their frog legs.  :0

Luckily, she stopped in her tracks when I called out for her to "STOP!".  She's a sweetie.  

We visited the chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc.  Gigi got to feed them.  Unfortunately, there was an over zealous chicken that attacked her for the food.  She was a bit traumatized by the attack, and I had to carry her for the rest of the visit.   :(

Under the chicken coops are the earthworms.  This whole place does not smell at all!  Unbelievable, huh?  It was really quite clean for a farm.

There weren't any earthworms under the goats, so they did smell a bit.

Emi and Gigi are looking at the horses in the stable.  I think they wanted to go for a ride, now that they are experienced pony riders.
