Day 105, 106 - Vermont Finale!

We ended our Vermont trip at Shelburne Farms. They have a beautiful stone barn with tons of animals. The girls even got to collect fresh eggs from the hen house and milk a cow!
To get to the barn, you get to ride on a covered wagon through the farm for about 10 minutes. The girls thought this was a pretty good start to their adventure.

Maggie put in a few minutes of work in between chasing chickens.

Mike was the only one brave enough to hold a chicken. Carly is still a little unsure of them ever since she was pecked at Riverbanks Zoo. It didn't help that later in the day several chickens raided our picnic and stole Carly's bread. She was furious!
On the flip side, her favorite activity was looking for eggs in the hen house!

Waiting in line to milk the cows. Maggie's not so sure about this activity - curious but glad to have big sister go first.
Carly milking Rosie! We left the U.S. smelling like livestock and head back to Canada...luckily they were not offended by our stinch at the border crossing and let us back in.
