Farm City Day and Bon Fire

Yesterday was a busy day. We took the girls to the Farm City Day. It is a great way for us city folks to see how a working dairy farm works. I have to say this is the first year that I really learned something that I didn't know. The silk strands that are on the corn on the cob-each kernal has their own strand of silk. If the silk is missing then that kernal of corn would be missing.
The girls had a hay ride and a pony ride in a cart. The got to see the animals in the petting zoo and pigs and cows of course. We also got ice cream too!
Afterwards we headed to our friends the Duncan's house. We had a wonderful bbq with great food and conversation. Abbey and Ashley love playing with thier girls and they all get along so well. They were outside playing and enjoying the fresh air. We had a bon-fire and roasted marshmellows. The girls would have eaten more s'mores if we would have let them but two was enough.
By 10:00 they were both exhausted. They went to sleep in the car and then let us get them ready for bed. It was a fun day.
