Every month, Hannah's little preschool does a field trip. For April, we went to a Dairy Farm. I have never been to one - I was kind of excited. The kids were just excited to see the cows and say, "moo". Besides the stench of cow manure - it was really cool. I learned a lot, most of which I have since forgotten. I can say it's mind-boggling to think about how much milk they go through on an given day. Certainly made an impression on me. The facility was really clean, and the guide was very good at answering all our crazy questions.
Of course every one's favorite part were the baby calves. They had about 300 at the time we were there, and all were under 30 days old. Hannah loved to let them suck on her fingers. I wouldn't let them close to mine. Nasty, slime-mess. No way.
All the kids had a chance to feed them. Hannah was a natural. Not too many things scare her or gross her out. She's a tough kid.
Luke was fascinated with them.
A cool place to visit and learn, even for grown-ups.
