Shatto Milk Farm Tour

Memorial Day weekend we made the trip up to the Shatto Milk Farm to tour the facilities. It was about an hour and a half drive for us, so it took most of the day, but well worth the trip! We met up with Gaga and Papa and Aunt Mandy, Uncle Andy, Meredith and Gwendolyn.

We got to see how the cows are milked. When the cows came into the barn to be milked, one of them pooped everywhere (later when I asked Audrey what her favorite part of the day was, she said "the poop!"). Then we saw the baby calves and had the chance to milk a cow with our hands. Being the germaphobes that we are, Audrey and I declined the offer. Then we got to see how they bottled the milk and then ended the day with a milk and cheese tasting. Audrey refused to try any of the flavored milk, she just wanted regular milk. She's a milk purist.

Psychic Connection

Today, Audrey read my mind. I know it sounds hard to believe, but it was too eerie not to be true. We were driving home from school today and she was singing "The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round." I was thinking to myself about how I had not eaten very well that day (busy day at work) and was really hungry. I was thinking about what I wanted to eat when I got home and thought potato chips sounded really good, but knew I needed something more healthy after what I'd had that day. Right at about this time, Audrey said "Mama's hungry! Mama wants chips!" It was so crazy! No other explanation except clairvoyance, obviously.
