DPoD July 6th - A trip to the Museum of Agriculture

We decided to make good use of the extra car that we had made available to us and take the family of 5 out and about. We looked at all the places that Mr. I would be going to and chose the museum of Agriculture since it wasn't on his list.

Off we went and visited the cattle, including one poor girl waiting for a milking who on top of it is in heat, as well as lots of other animals. We then checked out the play area, where it seemed that Monkey is more adept to riding farm animals than Big C, and then took in the honey demonstration. We all learned a lot about the making of honey, and even tried one of many varieties that they had on hand for us to sample. The majority really enjoyed the buckwheat variety. Saje considered it 'the kind that grandpa would have likely had on hand in the house'. Mr. I. mainly hung out in the back and watched from afar until we recommended that he try some of the sugary treat.

From there we went to the tractor demo and the little boys went for a ride in the cab. We easily convinced them to get into the picture of the retro-1900 tractor, but Mr. I wasn't game. After all the tractor demos we went to the potato recipe class where Monkey and Big C got right into things. Mr. I sat and watched.

All too soon we were headed back home for dinner and a relaxing evening. The WB's had a great day taking in the sunshine and all that was on hand.
