Aunt Kim arranged this FUN trip to the Shatto Dairy farm today! What a fun time we all had!   Thanks a bunch, Aunt Kim!!!

This place is incredible!  You can find out more about them at www.shattodairy.com  The tours are only $5 a person and that’s well worth it, especially considering you get to sample ALL the milk flavors they make!

Makena thinks Missouri stinks!

They live in California and Bethany said she’s been saying it stinks for the past few weeks since they’ve been here! :)

Ashtyn was the only one who would put her thumb into the milking thing

Petting Pat, the Root Beer Cow

This was definitely the kids’ favorite part (maybe besides the milk sampling)

Again, Ashtyn was the only one from our little group that would milk the cow.  Guess the rest of them have become to “City-fied”

Kessed was SOOO excited that it was pink like her shirt!

Even President Bush likes Shatto Milk!  They won small business of the year award for the State of Missouri and got to go meet the president!  That was a really cool story that Mr. Shatto shared with us.  (I did ask his permission to take a picture of his picture!)
