Calder's Dairy Farm

Katie, Mom and I took Damien and Evelyn to Calder's Dairy Farm today.  The weather was beautiful and it seemed like a good way to celebrate the weekend.  Luke stayed home to work on painting the swing set.  (Pictures coming on that soon!)  I haven't been to Calder's since I was young and apparently it's gotten quite a bit larger.  

Evelyn wasn't sure at first how she felt about the animals.  She was especially suspicious of a cow that licked her hand.  

She warmed up to the idea of a free range pig and was all smiles.  

Damien decided to show Evelyn that there was nothing to fear from the cows.  

We were lucky and got to see the cows being milked in the milking barn.  

A trip to Calder's wouldn't be complete without a little ice-cream.  Evelyn made sure that she didn't miss out on that part of the trip.  

We ate our ice-cream by the pond.  Damien made sure all of the ducks and geese were very well fed.  He says that we will need to go back and make sure to bring Luke. 

We had a really wonderful time.  It was really nice to see how enthralled Evelyn was by the experience.  Damien made sure to tell me that he had a really good time.
