We went to the dairy farm as a ward assignment. We weren't sure if we were going to go, but decided Hudson would have fun seeing the cows and tractors, etc. so we rolled out of bed at 7 am on Saturday morning and rushed over to the church where we had donuts and milk, then headed over to the dairy farm. When we got there, the guy in charge said we were going to be WEEDING! I think we were all muttering under our breaths, a few not so under. After a bit of weeding, someone finally talked the guy into letting a couple of the little ones do something that actually involved cows. So Hudson and his little friend, Bridger, (and their parents!) got to go scrub and clean out the calf's watering troughs. Hudson and Bridger had a blast (for the most part) chasing the calves and causing a ruckus. We got BYU creamery chocolate milks (you reap what you sow!), and then we got a sneak peak into the milking area. Then we threw tires off the huge mounds of stuff (we're not sure what it was: mulch, feed, bedding?), and that was it! We were there for about 3.5 hours. You can imagine what we came home smelling and looking like. We decided to have a water fight in the front yard to get a little cleaned up. Our morning was fun but exhausting!

That's so nice of you guys to do that! At least Hudson loved it. Teaching him hard work is good. Ü
I'm glad that you were able to at least see some cows and not have to weed the entire time! Looks like a boy's dream...playing in dirt and chasing animals!
