Shiloh Farms... a true blessing

June 11, 2013 was Ayden's very first day at Shiloh Farms for Summer Camp.

I was so nervous because this was completely different from daycare and we had some much trouble with Ayden's behavior in the past. I wondered would he listen, would he try to run off, would he get board??? 

That first day all my anxiousness was eased..... he absolutely loved it! 

 The had a zip line, animals and all the outside air you could ask for!

 No fancy toys were needed to keep Ayden's attention here

 just the outdoors and love from all the sweet farm animals

 Their daily schedule consisted of:

I loved that they did devotion time with the kids! 

 Ayden fell in love with all the animals!

 

 You can tell that Ms. Phyllis who owns the farm really loves the children

 Jessica and Adam are also directors and they do so such a great job of making sure the kids have a wonderful time. 

 a couple of times even Brock joined Ayden

 where else could your kid come home and tell you his first kiss was with a llama!

 

  towards the end of the summer Brock started wanting to go with Brock a lot more

and then when school started back Brock decided that he would be going to Shiloh every chance he could

We are so thankful for Shiloh Farms and the kids truely look forward to teacher workdays and early dismissals now so they can go back and see all their friends... both human and animal :)
