MOOoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Dear Sir Moo's-A-Lot,
We had a much needed trip out of town when Daddy needed to go to Northern Indiana for work.  We kept busy at the mall riding a double decker carousel and eating popcorn.  We went for morning and evening swims and you charmed a group of students visiting colleges in the area.  On the way home we stopped at Fair Oak Farms.  It was a fun time.  The cows are gently cared for and thought about, if you're going to live the life of a milk cow.  They use the massive mounds of poop to actually power the entire farm and up to 700 homes!  There are play areas for kids and an area to see the calves being born!  Yes!  We watched a baby cow being born, you took it in stride and cheered on the mama.  You asked questions about your birth and what was hanging out of the cow.  It was amazing to experience.  
Then we went on a tour of the farms on a little bus, getting off to watch the cows being milked.
After the tour went to see a 4D movie about the farm.  It was, not well done.  One other family was in the theater with us.  You kept yelling, "Mine isn't 3D?! My glasses aren't working!"  
Neither were mine but at the end there is an animated cow saying good bye and it turns to the screen and poops and air and water shoots out at you from a little nozzle in front of the chair.  A little off and a little weird and it sends you into screams.  You are grossed out and your shirt is seriously wet on the side.  A little girl comes to you as the lights go out to reassure you that it wasn't real.  I think you knew it wasn't real it was all just so inappropriately gross.  After the poop good bye,  we finished off the afternoon before a long ride home with the creamiest ice cream ever.  You wanted to steal ours.  We did not allow this!  We love watching you learn and take in the world, and you just make us laugh, what could be better?
Love, Moooooma
