Cows!

 Kenzie learned all about farms this year at school, ever since then she has been saying she wanted to milk a cow.  A friend of mine from high school owns a dairy farm so I asked if we could come milk a cow, he said yes so we went today!  As soon as we stepped out of the car the kids said "it smells". Not really sure what they thought it would smell like.

 We got to see the baby cows, even one that was born just yesterday!

 Kenzie got scared so Erika milked the cow instead!

 As you can see Kenzie didn't like the smell!

 Hannah!

 This is how the cows are milked!  The milk 44 cows at a time.

 The girls got to feed the new baby calf (he was born yesterday) with a bottle.

 The boys were more interested in the kittens

Thanks Chris for letting us come and see the cows and for showing how cows get milked!
