Swimming class was cancelled this morning due to rain...imagine that ...you are in a pool of water but rain cancels the class :) So, the kids need something to pass the time so we decided to go with our friends down to Fair Oaks Farm...a diary farm. We pass it all the time when headed to the lake or NC but have never stopped. So off we go...
The kids had a blast touring the farm. We got to see the milking carousel, sample cheese, participate in tons of interactive games and see the birth of several calves...well, actually we missed the actual birth that could have been a good thing. We saw one mommy cow cleaning her calve up right after birth, one mommy cow getting ready to give birth (our tour was leaving so we had to go) and then we returned to the birthing barn right after two other mommies gave birth..but we got to see the calves stand for the first time and eat for the first time...quite an interesting day I must say!
