Visit to Keryn's house

We had a great visit to Keryn's house. We saw Stella the dog, who was extremely pleased to have so many new friends to pat her. 

We saw Splash who is very famous in Weka. He has grown up so much! He is not a chick any more - he is an adult pukeko. He let some of the children pat him and he ate some mash for us. He was very curious about the Weka learners visiting his pond.

We went to the paddock to say hello to Basil and Choccy. Choccy was too full of grass to even have a bit of hay! Luckily Basil is never too full for hay so he ate it for her. We all patted Basil and Choccy on their shoulders and learned never to run up to a horse and to always speak gently to them. Basil and Choccy were very happy that we were so sensible around them. The children noticed that they were very soft and warm to stroke. Choccy had a roll on the ground because she was itchy and she wanted to scratch her back. Rolling is the way she can do that. 

We went inside and Keryn filled up some little easter baskets that we had made that morning with some easter eggs. Lucky us!

Splash was curious while we ate our lunch. He came up to see us on the deck! He is not allowed up on the deck, but he does try to get on there a lot.  What a rascal!

Wow, Weka!  What great kids you all were at the visit!
