A Day At The Dairy Farm - Year 2

Boy, what a difference a year makes. Here are the girls last year...


And here they are this year...

We had another wonderful time at the dairy farm on Saturday with Lisa, Eammon and Maisie and Matt, Kathy and Chani. There were a few differences this year from last year: the corn was not as lush (we went a couple of weeks later than we did last year), it was overcast not sunny, it was COLD and not warm, and there were no pig races (very disappointing), but we still had a great time!

Once again, we started off in maize maze. Are you surprised that Briana took off like a shot?

Briana and Maisie...

And Chani...

Which way do we go now?

The daddies and their princesses...

Me and my princess...


Briana got up front for every single part of the tour. She loves to learn. She's like a little sponge...

Up front at the processing plant...

The hayride's the best part!!



Oh my! That cow is right behind us! Hilarious!!!

Feeding a calf...

Can't forget the pony ride! It was great because all the girls rode the ponies this year...


And what is a dairy farm without a jumpy pillow?

Doug and Eammon felt the need to try the jumpy pillow too. Boys will be boys...

All the mamas...

And a family photo. I wish Briana had smiled in this one, but this was right before we left, and I think her mouth finally got tired of smiling. ;) (Taken by Lisa S.)

I love this tradition that we have created. Can't wait for next year!!!

What an awesome tradition. I don't really have a lot of fall traditions but think I need to start something like this. I think it is so wonderful that you go with 2 other families. It's memories like these that your kids will treasure forever. Briana is such a cutie patutie!

Just wanted to say thanks for stopping by today and leaving your comment. It felt good to know you understood.
