Down on the Farm

watching the cow milking

"Mommy look the cat is eating":)

Micah intrigued by the cat

Adah loved the horses (and this one loved her..I think she smelled like apple puffs)

Micah was terrified, he kept saying "the horse is gonna eat me!"

We had a nice weekend. We took the kids (and Matt's little sister, Megan) on the Butler County Farm Tour Saturday and had a great time down on the farm. We visited 5 of the 6 farms on the tour, we learned a lot!

If you were to ask the kids what the highlight of their farm tour is, they might tell you about the Christmas tree farm that smelled like..well..like Christmas; or they might tell you about the sheep being sheered then a lady who cleaned the wool and made it into yarn, they might tell you about the horse farm where we got to pet and learn about horses & take a hayride, they might tell you about the cattle farm where we learned about milking a cow BUT it's a pretty safe bet that they would tell you about the cat at the cattle farm, the cat that was eating the afterbirth of a new born calf-just 3 hours old. (It was really gross!) I have a picture but it's really too nasty to post, it would make your stomach turn.

We saw many interesting things on the tour and I'm sure they learned a lot but of course the kids have talked more about that cat than anything else! It was the highlight of their trip.
