South Mountain Creamery

Rainy weekends always leave us wising we had something interesting to do. So when I read a post from a friend about the Cow Festival at South Mountain Creamery, I suggested that we see what it was about too.

We were joined by Wayne's parents and thankfully we did not have a downpour while we were there. Natalie loved the cows and Nick said his favorites were the pigs. Everyone else really enjoyed the fresh creamery ice cream! It was very rich and very delicious. The kids each got a little container to shake... after 5 minutes of solid shaking, the result was butter! Nick used his butter on some bread with dinner that night and said it was very good.



Seeing these piglets (who were born the Sunday before our visit!) eating was pretty interesting. The mom just slept through it all. The piglets were loud and shoved each other all over the place before settling into a routine. Once finished, they hopped off and went back to rest.

Natalie had no fear of the cows! The baby licked her and also managed to lick her face a bit... she just laughed.
