Dairy Farm Fieldtrip

2 weeks ago I joined Elijah on a fieldtrip to a local dairy farm. It was a great two-hour tour that included watching a milking of 5 different species of cows, hand-milking a cow, feeding cows, learning about the barn, meeting a 10-day old calf, drinking chocolate milk and eating ice cream! Yum!

This was our morning:

the calf's name is Bambi - sure looks like a deer, eh?!

"cheese" or maybe I got him to say "ice cream!"
