This past Saturday Julie, Kylie, Peyton, Paige, and I went to the Fair Oaks Dairy Farm. www.fofarms.com
It was great! If you haven’t been, plan a day trip. It’s got something for every age. We went thru DACC and rode the “short bus” up. The 5 of us got to hook fake cows up to milking machines, watch a 3D/4D movie, see a calf born, and eat an excellent lunch. I should point out that the lunch was not the calf. We just postponed lunch until after watching the calving. They had to pull the calf, and I was a little scared at what the 3 girls would think of this. There’s this mama cow behind a picture window laying on some hay with a lady farmer helping her out. It really couldn’t have been much more graphic. Paige said “look that calf is saying get me outta here”, Peyton said “ahhh, poor mama”. If you know the girls then you know how this fits their personalities. Here’s a few pics from our windy day.

Hey Jame - Great pictures! I like the close up of Kylie's freckles; although she disagrees. Let me know when you're ready to go back- we're game! Julie
Great post and great pics of the kids. Where were you, Auntie Jame? Hiding behind the camera???? The twins had a fab time. And so many have been to this place before. I, myself, have never heard of it til now. Glad you went. Mom
