say cheese





This is eli and Finn. Last night we camped on a ridge overlooking the wi river. We got up and had the whole park to ourselves so we got to ripstick all around. Then we left and saw a beautiful dairy and beef farm. So we stopped and asked if we could tour the farm. Mrs. Mergen was kind enough to say yes. Her son Adam showed us around. First he took is through the barn where the milk gets held. Their milk gets picked up every two days and shipped to a spot where it gets turned into wi cheese. Then he took us into the milking parlor. Mrs Mergen milks 70 cows twice every day, at 4;00 am and 4;00 pm. Every day no matter what. Then we got to see the cows and some little baby calves. Boy was thee a lot if chores to be done and a lot of poo everywhere. we were so impressed at the pride they took in their farm. these are real hardworking Americans. we have to go, still looking for wi license plates and mom just saw a thrift store.
