Today is going to be blog catch up day. We have had a lot of exciting things going on. The Andersons invited us to join them on a tour of Cagle's Dairy. Kayla had been asking to go for weeks since she passes the farm every week going to and from soccer practice and games. When the Andersons said they were going we of course had to join in the fun. Emily spent the night with us so we brought her along for the fun.
First we learned about plants and they even planted a pepper plant on the farm. Seems to me that is a sneaky way of getting free labor, but that's just my opinion. Next we headed over to a barn where we saw a calf drinking milk out of a bottle as well as several other animals. The girls we given some cabbage to feed the animals. Macy got her little finger snapped by a duck. Poor baby, but she was as good as new after some love from her mama.
When then got to see how a cow was milked. The elderly man was difficult to understand, but it was still neat to watch.
We then loaded up for a hay ride that took us around the property and we watched the herding dogs in action. The first puppy herded some sheep. The second dog was older and brought these cows right up to the tractor. I thought I knew what nasty cow smelled like, but these cows STUNK! Oh my!
After feeding the goats we were finished with our tour. The girls had a great time and we were lucky enough to experience the fun of Cagle's Dairy with some dear friends.
Brooke missed her morning nap and konked out in the car.
Just a couple of random pictures of Brooke to wrap up the post. This girl can down some cinnamon waffles. Actually all three of the girls love these waffles and we can easily go through half a box in one morning. As you can see Brooke is not going to let anyone take her breakfast from her.
Brooke loves her babies and has now figured out how to carry a purse. I officially have three prissy girls on my hands and I couldn't be happier about it. I love all things girly!
