Up Close and Personal with a Cow
































Mommy, Poppi, Grandpop, Grammy, Jeannemarie, Aunt Peggy Anne and I all headed off to the Billings Farm in Woodstock Vermont. They have lots of animals for kids to touch and learn about in a historic barn. I was able to pet cows, chickens, sheep and horses. They had numerous cows- babies as new as 10 days old, toddlers, and even pregnant cows. One of the toddler cows decided that i needed a kiss. Much to all of our surprise she twisted her neck and came out to greet me! Somehow Grammy and I kept standing. After all was said and done, i was left with some grass slobber/mud across my cheek and forehead. Although i was startled i quickly recovered to continue petting/greeting other cows and horses. Billings Farm is still a working dairy farm. As you can see, i truly enjoyed the complimentary chocolate milk, my first taste of such a thing! The Vermont countryside is certainly beautiful!
