The Dairy Farm Tour

The homeschool group we belong to got a special tour of a local dairy farm.
Alex had a big problem with the smell, so you can imagine I just loved it. NOT.
Jonathan was really into it. He touched everything he was allowed to and some things that he wasn't. This pic was when he was given the food that the cows are fed.
We got to go into the birthing barn and see a calf just hours old. You can actually see the afterbirth hasn't been cleaned up yet.

Then we made our way to the calves that we could pet.
Jonathan was very excited about this part.
He was even brave enough to stick his hand into the shelter.
They also had bunnies.

After a quick picnic and massive booboo repair(Alex fell and bled everywhere), we got some homemade ice cream. YUM!
It did cheer Alex up but he still started crying whenever he thought about his knee too much.

We had a great time and are excited about all the other adventures our homeschool group will help us experience.

Wow -- how did the boys get so BIG. They are adorable. I don't like the bear getting that close, though!
