Iowa Vacation (Part 3)

Tuesday...by this time we are realizing that the days are flying by and we do not have much time together.  But we will make the most of it!

In the morning we went to a park that had a section dedicated for Grace and Ellie's age group and another "big kid" part.  I believe that Grace could have stayed there all day.  She had a slide that had stairs going up to it, she had a swing, life was GREAT for her.

We left the park for nap time (and after being in the sun most of the morning, I think that we all wanted/needed naps).

After the kids woke up and ate lunch we headed out again for a dairy farm.  We learned how they milk, process, bottle, etc.  They make a little of everything at this dairy (butter, milk, chocolate milk, curds, ice cream, just to name a few).  Their name is MooRoo, their logo is a Kangaroo with a calf in it's pouch.  Very cute and they do keep kangaroos on their land for tours.  The tour was very informative but the highlights of the dairy farm was when we got to pet the calves and also we got to bottle feed one of the calves.

At the end of the tour we got to sample their milk and ice cream.  It was a great hit with all of us (Grace went after it like crazy and would not let me have much of my ice cream).

Such a very fun trip.

Sorry about the flipped pictures.  I have tried many times to get them straight and right, but blogger or the computer will not allow it.  But I figure, at least I have the memories written down (even if they are sideways).
