Tuesday, we went to Fair Oaks Dairy Farm for playgroup at church. It is the biggest dairy farm in the United States! I was in charge of the whole event, so it was great that Ricky was able to join us and help out with the kids. Plus he had never been there. I was worried that we wouldn't have enough people, we had to have at least 20, but we ended up having over 60 people! Yeah! Everything worked out great. They were very accommodating and we all got to enjoy some free chocolate milk! The kids really enjoyed seeing all of the cows and then playing on all the fun toys after. We made it in time to see a cow being born, which all the kids were fascinated by. The bus ride takes you through a barn and you see the cows resting, the baby cows in the little 'dog houses', and then you see the milking station. Each cow is milked 3 times a day! It was fun to learn about how milk is made.
Ethan was a big fan of the train ride, surprise, surprise. I think he ended up riding it about 5 times! I eventually had to pull him off of the ride!
Dylan and Lauren loved these little tractors. They were similar to power wheels.
They also had this cool jumpy thing. Dylan was the only one of my kids who would jump on it. It was really neat!
Once it started to get busy (and we got too hot) we went to the cafe for
some ice cream! They make it there and it was soo good! We got mint
chocolate chip (Dylan's favorite) and cookies and cream.We also sampled some cheeses, Yum! It was a great day at the farm!
