Will's Last Preschool Field Trip - On The Farm

At preschool there has been a field trip almost every month this year. It's their last field trip and they went to Teacher Andrea's Dairy Farm.

Andrea was trying to talk the preschool kids into letting this Jersey calf suck on their fingers.

Will was the first to stick out his fingers...

That calf latched on and sucked his fingers right in!!! Will jumped and was really surprised by it... it was funny. He was laughing.

Paisley found Kalyssa's lip gloss on the counter right before we left home and she's been applying it for 20 minutes straight! Lol.

The calf jumped at her and she ran. Haha.

Gordo feeding the calf water in a bottle.

Willie's turn to feed. 

Andrea brought us to the milk barn and explained how they get milk from the cows.

We went under ground and she showed us how the milk goes down into these pipes, and they felt how warm the pipes are from the milk.

Then in the room where the milk tanks are, she showed them that the warm milk is cooled within 30 seconds to pasteurize it.

Then they felt the pipes on the other wall, and they were cold after pasteurization. 

She let us peek in the tank.

Teacher Andrea picked up each kid to let them see the milk inside.

And Emmy Lou...

...and Paisley. :)

Will's preschool class was getting set up for a picture on the dairy's new tractor!

SO cute! :)

It's an hour later, Paisley is STILL applying her lip gloss.

My Emmy Lou wanted to sit in the tractor tire.

We walked back to class for a dairy treat... Gogurt and string cheese!

I miss that dairy farm! It's where my story with Brandon all began... :) Lots of good memories there. Will is starting to understand that Daddy doesn't work at this "barn" anymore, he works at a different "barn". :0( So bittersweet.
