Dairy Farm Tour

A couple weekends ago a local dairy farm had an open house.  We decided to take the kids over there for something different to do and for them to see all the cows.  The gave us a little tour of their milking facility, the cows, and the baby calves.  Conner loved pointing to the cows and saying "moo".  Kaylee got to make butter by shaking cream in a baby food jar.  The first jar dropped on the floor and she got very upset.  But the ladies gave her a new one to shake.  We had to shake it for about a half hour to make butter!  We also got to taste three different kinds of milk, cheese, and ice cream that the farm makes themselves.  All in all it was a fun morning doing something out of the ordinary.

They also had a huge hay bale pile for the kids to climb on.  Kaylee had fun, but Conner didn't care for touching the itchy hay!

After the dairy farm tour we had Sadie's 1st birthday party to attend.  Steve and I were hoping the kids would sleep in the car on the way there since it was about a 45 minute drive from the farm to the bday party.  But since neither of our kids sleep in the car, naps didn't happen that day.  Needless to say they went to bed early that night, but they both did really well and there were no major meltdowns!
