The kids were really excited to go see the cows and of course free ice cream isn't half bad either!
This farm trip was set up for fourth graders (perfect for Emmi) but we went as part of our homeschool group, so of course Litte Miss O came along for the ride.
The event was set up in different stations so each group could rotate through the whole farm without having to wait and without having the feeling that the place was crowded!
The organizers did a wonderful job and we had a great time!
We learned quite a bit about dairy cows and their life on the farm.
But we also learned about pollination, corn crops and pasture land plants, trash reduction and recycling.
We got to husk corn in 100 year old manual corn husking machines...
...and of course we got to find out if vanilla or chocolate ice cream tastes better (it's a tie, just in case you were wondering).
