With school in full swing so are the field trips and the wonderful hands on learning experiences. Today we headed out to Grisham Farms in McKinney. The family is a small family owned farm that rescues animals. The owner Ms. Stephanie is a certified special education teacher with 24 years teaching experience. The farm was originally opened 9 years ago for the purpose of giving kids with special needs access to the animals. She takes the kids on a tour of the farm, giving them details about the animals and quizzing the kids as they go.
The farm has a lot of animals the kids can pet and feed including:
alpaca, Ball Python snake, Bearded dragon, bunnies, chickens, cows, donkeys,
ducks, emu, geese, giant tortoises, goats, guinea pigs, hedgehog, llamas,
miniature horses, ostriches, pigs, and sheep. My favorite was the alpaca because of his sweet face and buck teeth as he ate out of my hand. Abigail of course, had a special bond with the pigs, particularly the potbelly pig named Petunia.
The righteous care for the needs of their animals
