Visit to the Farm (Dairy this time!)


One of the girls I work with grew up on a dairy farm and as I am always looking for opportunities for the girls to get hands on, we asked if we could drive out for a "tour".
The girls had a great time and a wonderful personalized visit with the cows, machinery, and whatever barn cat they could get close to. (Even an up close with a dead bird --one of their favorite past times... poking at dead things!)

But back to the tour, the girls got to meet the farm's week old calves, including a set of twins, had a walk though of the milking process and a discussion about the different tractors, machinery and the planting process.
It was great fun, and when the girls got home they drew their favorite parts as thank you cards for C. (I forgot to take pictures, but they were pretty cute cow drawings!)

No matter how cute, pictures of kids sitting on giant tires gives me the creeps.:)
Glad to see that you are fitting in lots of time for fun.
We need to come over for a campfire soon!
