Field Trip to the Scary Dairy

We had the opportunity to tour a local cheese farm today. Afterwards I asked the kids what their most and least favorite parts were. Child #3 liked eating the cheese the best. Is anyone surprised? Child #4 didn't like seeing the cow poop. But he did like seeing a kitty in the barn. My favorite part was this conversation between myself and Child #4:

Child #4: Are there goats here?
Me: No, only cows.
Child #4: And cats! I saw a cat back there! [pause] Why is there only cows and cats here?
Me: Because this factory only makes cow cheese.
Child #4: Cow and Cat Cheese? Cause there are cats here!

Cat cheese? I guess it could be done, but I wouldn't want to milk the cat!

And a special thank you to AC#1 for coming on the tour with me!
