MOOOOOOOO! COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!!! These were the sounds that
filled the air last Saturday at Muscoot farm in Valhalla. Teen adventurers
traveled to the working farm for a picnic lunch, a nature walk and some time to
get up close and personal with some of the farm animals.
The adventurers arrived at the farm by 1pm and settled down
for a packed lunch. There was a chill in the air but good company warmed us up.
After lunch the teens strolled around the farm and saw all the animals
including a row of gorgeous cows, sheep, chickens, roosters and two very lively
horses. The crowd favorite was the huge pigs and their little piglets. Before
our nature hike we passed by two donkeys that gave us an enthusiastic
EEEEEE-AAAAAA and we were off on the trail!
The crew took a 35 minute walk over rolling hills. Our
destination was a gazebo perched on a hill top. To our left a view of the
beautiful fall foliage and to our right a gently sloping pasture filled with
sparrows darting this way and that. We descended down the finely manicured path
to the base of the pasture to take in one last look before heading back to the farm.
The teens took one more look at their favorite animals (the
piglets) and then up to the picnic area for a well deserved snack. Then it was
back on the bus and back to Mamaroneck with another adventure in the books.
