A Race to Holiday Farms--Pumpkin Patch

We don't have very many pumpkin farms in SC--we were VERY spoiled with those in WI!
But I can honestly say, that though we lived in America's Dairy Land, this is the first time milking a cow!
I've done a maze or two in my day--corn mazes, right?  How many of you can say you've done a cattail maze?
Having an utterly good time:D
Gosh, and tractor racing was a first today too!  (a few of us grown-ups were going to attempt this, til we saw the weight limit:D)
Gosh, tractor races just weren't enough for us, so we added duck racing to the mix!
I guess we were in the mood for adventure, as we decided to try to rope a steer!  I did it, have you ever done that?
The theme of the day must be  racing--here's some barrel racing for ya!
And when the day's all done, we still want to cuddle with mama and daddy!

The milking the cow looked like great fun.

When we were studying about dairy farms we were fortunate enough to have a family member that has a working dairy farm. So we took our kids there. They milk about 100 head. My kids got to see and do the real deal! Everything is automated now days. Uncle showed how to hook up the cows and the whole process of where the milk then goes. They even got to try the milk. Tasted soooooo good!
