Dairy Mudfest 2013

Saturday was already going to be a busy day and it was cold and it was raining BUT we always go to the Dairy Breakfast and so go to the Dairy Breakfast we did. It opens at 6AM and we usually go pretty early but we waited until 9:00 in hopes that the weather would improve. As it turns out it was still 59 degrees and pouring rain when we got there. Oh well, traditions are very important to us so we were glad that we did not have to break this one just because of rain.

They usually let you park on the farm but it was so muddy that the cars parked there were getting stuck so we had to park way down the country road. Luckily we found someone leaving and grabbed their spot about 1/4 mile away from the farm but some people were over a mile down the road and walking to the farm in the rain.

This year they had face painting in the barn, so after breakfast we waited in line for that forever. The breakfast was over and they were putting everything away by the time we left so we did not get to do the tractors and corn pits and visits with the animals and other stuff we usually do. It was probably just as well since the painting kept us in the barn most of the time and the festivities outside the barn ended up looking more like mud wrestling than anything else.

Al took this pic of me and Chloe.
 





 
I tried to get a pic of Seth with the kids after he took the one above but he was already heading off down the road.  By this point most of the cars had gone. I should have taken a picture when they went on forever.

So it may not have been our best, favorite Dairy Breakfast ever but we were there and I still have 5 pairs of muddy boots on my front porch to prove it.
