AJ and I are spending two weeks in Iowa visiting my family. Grandma Julie and I took the little guy to a local organic dairy farm and creamery yesterday to see his first farm animals. When we got out of the car, the guy who runs the farm was moving a pile of manure around with a piece of equipment that had a big scoop on the front. So we said to AJ, "This is where they separate the city babies from the country babies. If you don't cry at this smell, we'll consider you a country boy." I am happy to report that he passed his first test. The dairy had all of its calves in what I think were little weaning pens, which made it easy for us to let AJ take a look. His eyes got very big when one of their long, gray tongues came his way and almost licked his face! The best part of the trip was the homemade ice cream for mom and grandma.
