Fair Oak Farms....

On Friday, we took a Road Trip with Suzi, Wyatt and their friend Brayton to Fair Oak Farms.
It was a picture perfect day on the farm!!!
The kids enjoying the tour.
Wyatt Climbing through the swiss cheese and
Jackson learning to milk a cow!
On the self guided tour...
Getting ready for the 3D movie...
Walking on air...they had this cool trampoline like thing that the kids loved!
All aboard the Milk Express!
We saw twin calves born and 2 other single births!
We learned that only 6% of cows have twins!
Baby calves home...

The milking wheel!
This was an amazing process to watch. Each cow milks 2-3 times a day and that produces 280,000 gallons a day!!! GOT MILK!!! Each cow also wears a collar that monitors how many times the milk, how many steps they take each day and numerous other activities!
The Dairy Barn had some amazing grilled cheese sandwiches and the kids all LOVED the ice cream! Jackson said it was the best Chocolate ice cream he had ever had!
Leaving the farm!
