Knopp's Dairy Farm Adventure

On July 18th, we accompanied Brendan's Grade 1/2 class on an adventue to Knopp's Dairy Farm. We had a first-hand look at where it all begins - how the milk makes it to our kitchen table.

This is a picture of the kids exploring the OLD milking station.The kids meet some baby calves.
Lily makes friends with a baby calf!
Here, we meet some milking cows, as well as Mommy's-to-be.

Meet Arden Elly. She was named after the kid's school, Arden Elementary. The farm had a big fire a couple of years back. Arden school came together and donated money for the purchase of her. The kids of the school voted on her name!

This is the NEW milking station.This is where the milk is stored until a big truck comes to pick it up!
Tractor rides for all!

Fun with relay races!

The fresh farm air was enough to knock Lily out for over 2 hours!

The kids enjoyed 3 fun rounds of water balloon toss!

Watching the remaining water balloon tossers!

Watching the Knopp's dog chase a soccer ball. Always more comfortable in the back of a tractor trailer!

Thank you Knopp's family!!
