Got Milk?

Stop the world, Avery, we want to get off!

We had a great time at the 2012 World Dairy Expo. We spent a long, exhausting day there, and could easily have gone back for more. There’s so much to see and so much to do.

Teach us how to Bucky!

Time for a break- for what else? Ice Cream!

The Vicor Bigfoot truck. They gave us super cool toy versions to take home.

Thanks to our friend and neighbor Steven S. for getting us passes.

We took a great day trip to the Toy Train Barn, reminiscent of Thom’s many trips to train shows with dear old Dad…

Hopefully, with the hectic schedule of summer behind us, and settling into a more relaxed pace of Fall, we’ll get this page back up and running on schedule.
