When you live in Wisconsin, there are lots of fun
opportunities to see cows. We
recently enjoyed such a privilege when Aurora and I spent a Saturday at Sassy
Cow Creamery, our local organic dairy.
Aurora pet a day-old calf and submitted the name “Three” in
the name bucket. We “moo”ed at it
a little while and moved on to other fun things. We played with sidewalk chalk, we used great deliberation
coloring a farm scene, and we ran back and forth tossing beanbags in the
cheese-shaped cornholes.
Oh, and of course, we ate ice-cream. Who needs a spoon anyway?
As the day continued we watched a milking, enjoyed a
hayride, and saw a newborn calf stand for its’ for time. Mostly we played in the barn. Hours and hours running up and down the
grazing line of cows. We
identified those we like best. We
stomped in the puddles created by their watering hoses.
I thought we were driving out for a bit of ice-cream, but it
turned into an entire day of fun at the farm.
