Trader's Point Creamery

In keeping with the Great Summer of 2010...Julie, Stacy and I took the kids to Trader's Point Creamery. None of us had been there before so we thought it would be fun to take the kids and expose them to a little country life. We met at the creamery with picnic lunches and ate outside before hitting the grounds to check out the animals, barns and pastures.
The kids really enjoyed looking at the cows and pigs and ducks. They even got a little lesson in life from the cow who had just given birth. Unfortunately, it wasn't exactly the most "beautiful" thing we saw...as we missed the actual birth of the calf. Instead we got a great view of the mother cow delivering and eating the placenta. Mmmm. Of course we encouraged Julie that she should consider taking after the cow and doing the same with hers with this baby due in October. Maybe she should look into encapsulating it! SIKE!


The kids really did enjoy themselves and us moms did get a pretty good laugh at the cow. The kids loved chasing the chickens around the barn and their coop. Charlotte tried to help a stray egg under the coop, but the momma chickens didn't take too kindly to that and Charlotte got chased herself!

It was super hot out, but other than that we had a really nice time. The kids enjoyed seeing the animals and chasing each other around in a big empty barn. Jack pushed Graham around in his stroller and ran him into some things...so even the little almost 4 week old got in on the action. I love these girls and our kids.
