Trip to Picket Fence Farm

Picket Fence Farm

One day, I went to the Picket Fence Farm with my parents.

First, I saw many goats. “I’m hungry”, they screamed. So, I fed the goats some grass. I gave them more grass because they kept asking for more. I think they were very hungry!

The sheep also joined the goats and ate grass. “Come, let us see the other animals”, said my father. Then I saw, rabbit, iguana, turkey, pony, hamster, camel and many colorful birds.

The parrots sat on my shoulders and head!

I loved my trip to the farm and will go again.
