Left CG for Oregon Dairy

It was beautiful morning and we were on our way back home (just in the CRV for we were returning to the CG) to met our daughters and granddaughters at Oregon Dairy for Farm Days.  Thought we were going to do it yesterday, but a very rainy day!

Fortunately we got to the Dairy by 9:45, for we expected a big crowd due to yesterday's weather.  We were right!  We got on the 2nd that tractor pulled wagon was driven through the large barn so the children could see all the cows.  Did you know that a single cow produces about 35 cups of milk a day!  Wow!.  This dairy/grocery store/restaurant is a huge operation and so well run.  They had a large tent with animals for the children to pet and hold, plus areas were they could make crafts from recycled materials.  The girls held little peeps and pet the sheep, goats and alpacas.  The second large tent offered free chocolate milk, ice cream, and popcorn.  I even got to enjoy some pickled deviled eggs - new thing for me.  I had tried both before, but not red beet eggs that had the deviled filling.  Very good!

Heading to the Barn!

Lots of cows on this Farm!

The girls also got to ride the tractor pulled train.  By the time we finished our tour, the crowd and lines were huge.  We were glad we had come so early.  We bought 4 barbecued chicken meals and headed to a local playground to have a picnic and enjoy playing.  We all departed around 12:45 - soon nap time for the little ones.

Getting to hold the little peeps!

Time to milk the cow!

All the girls had fun at the playground!

Ken mowed the grass and I did a load of wash before we headed back to the CG.  So nice to get "back home"!  Ken spent so much time getting ready for the arrival of my "Curvette" friends.  He wants to make sure everything is "Perfect".  What a great guy!  He even got the fire ring all setup so I have no trouble making a campfire tomorrow night for my friends and hung the lights on the awning. 

After cooking supper, we walked to Neil and Nancy Savages campsite to sit around the fire and discuss how things are going as they are in their last 2 weeks of owning a sticks and brick property.  It is now down to "crunch time" and it is getting tough to know what to do with some of their possessions that have not been sold.  This 2 weeks will probably be rather stressful and tiring!  But their dream is within reach and they are so excited.  Abit overwhelmed, but so happy about their decision!  We are thrilled for them.

Back to Willie by 9:45 and looking forward to the arrival of my fellow exercising friends.  I know we will have a great time!
