and the cow goes moo

October is here, so it only seemed appropriate for the house to go on a field trip to a farm.
We checked out Legare Farms which is where we get our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share.  
We saw chickens, pigs, donkeys, horses, ducks, and goats. 
We also went on a hay ride which takes you out to the cattle pasture, and we were able to feed the cows!

It's rare that us city kids get to see any animals other than dogs, cats, and rats, so we were pretty stoked.
To round out the trip we picked pumpkins from the patch.

Charleston Green Fair


Christine, Ali, Nick and I (Rose) headed to the Charleston Green Fair this afternoon and were bummed to find out that there was a $5 fee for the festival. Christine and Ali opted out of the event, but Nick and I decided to splurge and check it out.  

The fair had art booths, local environmental nonprofits, food and bev, kid zone, and green businesses.  We walked around for an hour collecting samples, pamphlets, and talking with vendors.   By the end of the afternoon, we had a giant bag full of goodies and our hands full!  The wealth of resources at the fair was very impressive, as well as the great vibe. 

Nick and I ended up meeting up with friends and staying for hours.  We had delicious food and drinks and enjoyed the live entertainment!

We are both going back next year and were happy to spend the five dollars.
