3 Day Weekend-Day 1

We spent Friday morning at Homeland Creamery in Julian, NC. I have known for some time it would be a HUGE hit for our little one as it combines her love for animals and ice cream. However, the only drawback of this adventure is they do not have their hayride tours on the weekend. Thursday afternoon I realized Kevin would be off work the following day and it would actually be a weekday and we could possibly go to the creamery. When I called to make reservations they were booked. I believe the lady on the other end of the phone could hear the disappointment in my voice and said she would squeeze us in. We were not disappointed by our time in Julian. We were joined by a homeschooling/4-H group from Moore County. I was amazed at how much you could learn about cows as well as the whole milk production process. Anna loved the baby cows and was even able to help bottle feed one. You will also notice her milking a pretend cow. This entertained Anna for quite some time, she even asked to go back and do it again. At the end of our tour we were each give our own cup of homemade ice cream. Amazingly, Anna ate our packed picnic lunch first before eating her yummy treat. We were thankful to get the tour in while the sun was shining brightly. If you have never been, I would highly recommend visiting with the cows, wild turkeys, hens, kittens, dogs, donkeys, a llama and the wonderful people at Homeland Creamery!
