At the end of June, the ISU Dairy Farm was giving tours to the public one Friday morning. We took the boys, and didn't expect it to be as busy as it was. They had lots of free food. Milk, donuts, cheese, ice cream, more milk... Our first stop was seeing the cows being milked in the milking gallery. They milked many of them at one time and have a window so you can watch. We then hopped on a wagon that took us through all the cow barns and told us about what they do on the farm. We got to see baby cows, mama cows, pregnant cows, and milking cows. They had different sections for all the cows. I thought it was interesting that all though cows there are impregnated via in vitro. Ayden loved seeing all the cows, but he didn't want to get too close. He was really impressed when he saw a cow pee. He kept saying "Wow!" and pointing. (This was during the height of potty training so he was very observant when it came to people or animals going to the bathroom.) It was fun, and we're looking forward to taking the boys again next year. Maybe Cael won't sleep through most of it then :)
