it was a gorgeous, cool, overcast day. they had a hay ride, and chicken coops made of old school buses. the chickens were running around everywhere under-foot, clucking a high-volume, eerie sounding, collective "coo."


cosmo found it all very amusing, and dove right in to collect eggs.




we watched the cows being driven from the field for milking.
cosmo seemed genuinely awestruck by the mechanical milking process .


he got within kicking distance of a goat that was being hand-milked, and another one approached him to say hello.


nani has taught him how to do the texas longhorns "hook 'em horns,"


but these indiana cows didn't get it.


couldn't resist photographing this spider web.


the hay bales, covered in white plastic, looked like giant caterpillars.
