We buy our milk in the old fashioned dairy bottles from a local dairy, Shetler's Family Dairy. Ben didn't have school yesterday morning so we decided to go on an adventure to see where our milk came from. Despite their crazy mom going the wrong direction for a bit, the kids had a ball meeting all of the cows (who had delightful names like Nelle, Sandy, Mildred....), seeing where they bottle the milk, and coming face-to-face with a calf that was born only two hours ago and was still learning to stand.
Ben was thinking on the way home.... "Mom isn't it cool that the cows make candy flavored milk?" We had a little discussion about that!
PS.... Amelia was in the barns too but I was carrying her, the cows were just a little too close not to be in mommy's arms when you are just the size of their head. Any picture I have of her is too blurry - bummer.
