Day at the Farm

We try to busy our days and weekends with fun filled activities to keep our bodies and minds busy as we wait paitiently for daddy to finish up his training and come back to us.

a few weeks ago we decided we would take a trip to my friends parents Dairy farm and make a day trip our of it, little did we know how much excitement it really would hold!

9am on Saturday morning, I scurried around making breakfast, dressing little bodies and packing up for a day at the farm.  I packed lunches, snow pants, hats, mittens, a coffee for me of course and two very excited little girls into my truck, pressed play on my beloved DVD player, shoved Keeonah in the trunk and headed about 30 mins away to the Gillis Dairy Farm.
we arrived right on time shortly before 11 to greet Ashley and her husband and little one.


First things were first Reese HAD to go in and see all the cows....

we quickly went through the barn to take a look at the cows then went into the house to have a quick lunch!

Soon after lunch we put the little ones down for a nap to have some catch up conversation and real adult conversation.. oh how I miss real adult conversation!

not long did the kids nap and we were up and at it again. Lachlan, 2 precious years old and son of Ashley and Darcy and Reese were very eager to go outside and help "work on the farm" but first things were first... they had to go sliding!

that didn't last long.. nor does most thing you get a 1,2 and 3 year old to do! - so we then went BACK into the Cow barn to feed the cats!
Low and behold, one of the mommy cows had JUST given birth! what a site to see.. Reese was on cloud 9. She got to help Ashleys dad help get water for the mama cow, and boy oh boy was she ever excited!

 it was an exciting and change of scenery for us Finlay girls... but soon after baby and mama were doing alright we packed up and headed home! What a beautiful memory this was for all of us!

Thank you Ashley and Gillies Dairy Farm for letting us spend a day in your shoes!
