Day on the Farm
One of my all-time favorite events to take the girls to is Cows on the Concourse in Madison. We couldn’t go last year and we’ll miss this year’s as well, so when Q heard that a nearby agricultural museum was hosting a Day on the Farm – on Mother’s Day weekend no less! – he figured I’d want to go. How well he knows me! We took the girls on Saturday and had such a fun day, complete with cow petting, butter- and ice cream-making, candle dipping, and tractor riding. Zoe even got to play scientist by pulling apart and examining the contents of an owl pellet (she wore gloves), and both girls got to make lavender-scented sachets, with help of some sweet older 4H volunteers. It was a gorgeous day and though we were only 70 miles away from the city it felt like a real vacation, and a real break. A great way to celebrate Mother’s Day weekend with my family.
