#113 - Milk a Cow
I got home from the Dirty Dash and crashed! Not before showering and changing into clean clothes of course but I crashed. An hour or so later I woke up to my phone quacking like crazy. I had made plans to go with Whitney, Susie and Chelsy to Wheeler Farm that evening. They were trying to get everything figured out so we could make it for the 5:00 milking. Yep, you read that right! Susie needed to milk a cow for her summer adventure list. Being the good friends that we are, the three of us joined her on this adventure.
We met up and headed for the farm. I was teased because I was still trying to shake of my nap hangover when we got to the cows. After waiting in line forever behind some needy people, we got our tokens and headed to the milking barn. The kid in charge of the milking presentation was quite the dynamo. He said maybe 10 words total when he was giving us instructions. I was expecting more of an explanation on how often the cows are milked, how much milk was produced, or anything else dealing with the milking process. Yeah, we got none of that information before he just started having kids give it a try. We were definitely the only adults there that weren't accompanied by children.
We celebrated our first cow milking experience by eating milkshakes and hamburgers! Seemed appropriate! :)
