Dairy Farm Adventure

This week has been a little hectic, I am busy getting our house in order for the boys 2nd birthday party, and let me tell you our house needs some work.  The clutter and junk that just piles up, ugh.  Or the fact that as soon as I clean the floors in a matter of minutes its dirty again.  Maybe I should have a party every week just to keep my house clean.

But anyways I wanted to show some pictures of a fun little trip we went on last week.  Just me, the boys, My Mother in Law, and My Sister in law Stacy (remember the one who throws great parties) and niece, Ker.  We had a fun time and the boys really enjoyed all the animals.

First stop was petting some of the farm animals including this donkey, though Little W was a bit scared of him because he would get to hee-hawing, and it was a bit loud.

and this dairy cow who is a retired commercial actress, shes been in at least 10 Blue Bell Ice Cream commercials.  Now she lives the retired life, eating as much grass and feed as she could want.

Here’s a picture of the group.

then we moved on to feeding the goats, a trip isn’t complete without feeding goats

Little H really loved how they licked his hand, just look at that tongue, his not the goats

Then we met the big ol pig, and could even pet her.  Later as we were leaving Little H and I walked back over to her and noticed they had given her a pumpkin to eat.  And he just loved that the piggie was eating a pumpkin.  So if I ask him now what the pig did, he snorts (like a pig) and says pumpkin piggie pumpkin.

Next up were the turkeys they were fluffing out their feathers at us, and Little H would do a high pitch squeal (just because that’s what he does) and they would all start gobbling, it was hilarious

Little Ker got to bottle feed a calf, she just loved it and was a natural at it

 

The calves were just too cute, and would suck on your fingers, if you let them

Then we were off to the dairy farm to tour the milking and feeding facilities, so of course we took a hay ride behind a tractor, and the boys were in heaven

Can’t you tell by Little W face this is all it takes to make him happy

After they milk the cows they feed them, what a sight! Wish I would have gotten a little closer, but the are all eating, all 150 of them.

and I didn’t get any pictures of the milking

except we got to hand milk a cow

Little W was a little nervous about it at first

But Little H jumped right on in (with help) and squirted that milk

So not to be out down by bubba Little W gave it another go

Then we ladies tried and succeeded by decided not to take pictures, besides that it reminded us a bit too much of nursing, and then we felt sorry for that poor cow.
