This was especially good because Grandpa Rowland had been worried about our big city children knowing what cows and horses are because they never see them.
Aunt Betty is a retired school teacher and her class would take field trips to Wheeler Farm. She knew everything about it and gave Jade a wonderful tour. 
Jade even had the opportunity to milk a cow! I had never even done that!
I love that the first thing she says afterwards is, “I need to wash my hands.”
After the kids had a turn, the farmhand asked if any of the adults wanted to try. I figured I can’t be from Utah and never have milked a cow, so I gave it a go. The udder feels warm and soft. It was pretty weird. I felt the same way as Jade: “I need to wash my hands.” At the end Jade also got to pet the cow. She thought that was pretty cool.
I’m not exactly sure why, but I thought the day at the farm was an absolute blast! It probably has something to do with it being the complete opposite of where we live.

We went there, too! Except that Zoe is deathly afraid of flies and bugs and did not do well, so she and I had to excuse ourselves from the barn and go to the playground while my sis-in-law stayed w/ Maya and the other kids. I wish we could have milked the cow. I think it would have been fun.
Yeah, cow udders are way weird. I love the look on the girl's face. She doesn't seem too amused. :) My boys love farms. I'm so glad you had a good time on your trip. I like seeing all the things you did. I'm sad I didn't get to see you this year, but it doesn't sound like you would have had much time for it anyway!
