Cows are really BIG!

On Wednesday we went with our MOPS group to visit Shatto Dairy Farm in Osborn MO. It is kind of a trek out there, but well worth it! We got to see how the cows are milked, where the milk is bottled, pet the cows, try milking the cows, and we even got to taste all the milk the sell including a new coffee milk they are trying out- YUM! Emily is going through a phase where load noises scare her, so she didn't fully appreciate the tour, but she did enjoy seeing the cows. She didn't want to pet them- those things are BIG in real life!- but she did enjoy looking at them and mooing at them. I got to milk a cow, which was pretty much exactly like I thought it would be. Once the tour was over, we picnicked at the Farm and then Emily and Ali fell asleep on the way home.

Ready To Try The Milk

In other news, Emily's Granny (my grandma) passed away on Wednesday night/ early Thursday morning. Hospice was called in on Monday and we went to see her Monday night. At that time she was still awake and talking and we were able to tell her bye and that we loved her. Emily told her Nu-night and blew her kisses. After that we never saw her awake again. She will be truly missed, but I know she is in a better place!

The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
