🎉 2nd Grade Field Trip Fun at Hunsader Farms! 🌾🐐

Our Memorial Elementary 2nd graders had an amazing time on their field trip last week to Hunsader Farms—it was a complete success! 🙌

The day began with a scenic train ride around the farm where students got to see a variety of plants and animals. 🌿🛻 Afterward, they enjoyed lunch under the trees and some fun time on the playground. 🌳🍎

One of the highlights? Each student received a cup of feed and got to hand-feed animals like goats, sheep, donkeys, pigs, horses, an emu, llamas, lemurs, birds, a capybara, a tortoise, and even a porcupine! 🐴🦙🦔

The fun didn’t stop there—they explored a charming village featuring buildings like a school, church, courthouse, and jail, and had a blast with bikes and games. 🚲🏛️

2nd grade had a blast... but let’s just say there were some sleepy kids on the ride home! 😴💚
