On Sunday we met my parents at Fair Oaks Farm (exit 220 off of I-65). We took the tour in a beautiful air conditioned bus. They took us through one of their 10 dairy farms. What we saw was amazing! They had about 3000 cows in one farm, which are each milked 3 times a day. What a life a cow on the farm has, lie around on a sand bed, wait in line to be milked, get milked (8 minutes on the "merry-go-round), and then go back and lay down.
After the tour Ry, Jen, and my parents watched a cow being born. Kate and I were walking around outside. Ry enjoyed playing on all the different things: jump zone, maze, and the all time favorite motorized John Deer Tractor.
On Tuesday (our 8th anniversary) Jen, Ry, and I went to West Beach (Part of the Indiana Dunes). We had a blast, except for Lake Michigan being cold. Ry took another attempt at running down a sand dune. He bit it, but did not eat the sand! Ry played so hard he fell asleep on the way home.
To top it all off we stopped by Albanese Candy Factory. WOW, what a place. If you are ever on Rt. 30 (east off of exit 253 on I-65) I reccommend stopping by. Not only is there affordable candy (gummies are their specialty), it is a great place for viewing. They have videos you can watch and windows you can look through while candy is being made.
Kate hung out with my mom and enjoyed her grandma time. Kate also had her first sucker. She went to town on her cotton candy, and also enjoyed her cream soda sucker.
It is hard to believe that we did all that in 3 days. It was a blast!
