So, the rest of the day was spent taking an Agro Tour. They showed us the cows and where they grew different things (corn, grass, sunflowers for the seeds, etc) for the cows. Then we came upon buildings that looked like the Wild West! We got to watch guys brand (with a branding iron, but on a board, not a cow), rope a cow, use a lasso and twirl guns! The kids could have taken a pony ride, but we had them sit on the fake horse instead :) After that, Dan bought tickets for the kiddos to try the cap guns there. Jack had a blast, Megan actually knocked down a thing and Kylie tried throwing darts. Real ones. Not really sure how safe that was...but we all survived! Then we boarded our nice wagon to the Petting Zoo area! You could purchase veggies to feed bunnies, deer and sheep and purchase bottles of milk to feed the calves! It was crazy to have deer just roaming around. They also did a pet show, but we kind of missed it, so the kiddos and Dan just got their picture taken with a golden retriever...It was a fun day and I would definitely recommend it to friends...it's mostly all in Thai, but we're fine with that :)

| They did this really cool roping thing where they did a few twists of the rope and they had this cow down on the ground so it could be branded! Luckily for the cow, they just pretended and then branded the board in the background! |

looks like fun! :)
though i appreciated the 'real' post about the farm trip :)
Bet the kids enjoyed that! Looked like a nice day for all of you.. Love, Mom xoxoxo
Such fun stuff! I thought it was funny too that the kids paid to milk the calves when they do it for free at the farm. It' a great idea for entertainment - fun and educational!
Love to all!
