The "Hairy" Farm

So we went with Josh's preschool to a dairy farm this morning.

We had a really good time.

On the way there, Becky said, "Mom, we are going to a HAIRY farm!"

I said, "No, honey, we are going to a DAIRY farm."

She replied, "No, it's a HAIRY farm. My Dad said so."

Well, I guess he would know...right?

Anyway, we got to enjoy all the sights and sounds and smells (mmm, mmm, good) of a working dairy farm.

The kids got to take a tour of the farm, including a hay ride, looking at a chicken, up close and personal, playing on the farm equipment, and duck racing with old fashion water pumps (they used the pumps to float a rubber ducky down a pipe).







They even got to pet a sheep and have some ice cream.












The highlight of their adventure was making a "dirt baby." It is a little stocking full of dirt and seed that the kids glued googly eyes on. The seeds will eventually spout and look like the baby is growing hair.

So, I guess Troy was right, it WAS a HAIRY farm.

I love Cows and Corn. We were going the Kirsti's Preschool in Thursday but it was raining and Kendall was throwing up all night. I hope Josh didn't get it?
There really is a lot of hair at farms, so Becky is not that far off.
