This morning, Anna and I joined some of our fellow seminary moms and kids (our Soul Care and Care Kids group) for a field trip to a dairy farm just outside of Grand Rapids. It was a beautiful day and we learned a lot about dairy farms. Our tour guide showed us so many interesting aspects of farm life and dairy cows.
We played on the playground for a little while before our tour.
Then we headed in for a little snack--milk and cheese, of course!
There was a little hay bale maze the kids loved going through.
Then we took a little hay ride around the farm.
While we were on the hay ride, a new calf was born!

We got to feed warm water to some of the baby calves for their morning snack. This one was really thirsty!
We had just a few minutes after lunch for Anna to play in the corn box. After we got home I asked Anna what her favorite part of the farm was. At first she didn't really say anything. When I gave her suggestions: the hay ride, feeding the calves, seeing the cows get milked...she answered yes to everything! We had a great morning with our friends!
