Maverick's 2nd Birthday Party

We invited our neighbor friends to join us for a "field trip" birthday party to celebrate Maverick's 2nd birthday.  We rented a 15 passenger van and drove up to Shatto Dairy Farm in Osborn, Missouri.

We had cow designed donuts on the way....

....after we realized what it did to the kids' faces!  It wiped right off...no worries!

The kids all held up "2" fingers in response to "How old is Maverick?"  Hmmm...it looks like all of the kids participated except for Mitchell!  Typical :)

We picked the first kiddo up at 8:45 and arrived at the Shatto Farm at 10:10am.  Not a bad ride :)

They have lots of fun types of milk, so we lined up to sample them like a wine tasting!

I think Sadie liked what she tasted :)

All of this fun was wearing Maverick out!

You have got to love the little chaps that my mom made for him.  Too cute!

Macallan rode around in the sling and didn't make a peep the whole time.  He is such a good boy...but I have to remind myself that he'll be 2 someday too!  We certainly have our hands full with our 2 year-old right now.  Maverick is a BUNDLE of energy!

Next stop on the tour was visiting the baby calves and milking a momma cow!

Then we saw how they can milk them a little quicker with machine pumps.  We even got to "milk" our thumbs to see what it feels like.

Which way to the cows, Maverick?

Macallan was a happy camper on the way up and back, despite the fact that he's typically not too fond of his carseat.

We packed lunches for the way back, followed by cow cupcakes!

We all had a great time celebrating Mav's birthday.  Fun times had by all!
