Fun On The Farm

A little rain didn't stop Family Fun Day!

On Tuesday, our preschoolers gathered at Historic Wagner Farm in Glenview to mingle with cows, horses, and chickens before closing out the day with smiles and laughs on the playground. 

Thank you to Wagner Farm for being such great hosts!
