Dairy Farm

 I went with Riley's class on a field trip to a dairy farm. One of the teacher's families own the farm, so we had a first rate tour. They showed us where the milk was kept and we were able to watch them milk the cows.
 When the kids got off the bus, Julie told Atahn to hold Riley's hand. Julie then told me that they are always together. Sure enough, Atahn never left Riley's side. It was kind of funny. Riley sat on the left side of my lap and Atahn sat on the right side of my lap. :)
 Let's just say I'm in favor of pasteurization.



 Riley also has two other boyfriends beside Atahn. Their names are Pablo and Rowen. They were fighting over holding her hands and started pushing each other. During conferences, Julie told me that these boys' parents kept asking who Riley was because they talk about her all of the time.


 They all took turns feeding the calves. They were only four days old. They take them away from their moms right away so they don't get any infections. They were adorable.

After the field trip, they all enjoyed some ice cream. The kids had a lot of fun!
