so we have a special day at our school called ag day, it stand for agriculture day.  i found out this morning, while in the midst of ag day, that it is just horrible. 

Some of the things that ag day offers is getting a picture taken with either a baby goat or a tractor, i dont mind getting a picture with the tractor, but have 800+ students handling a baby goat in a day would be super stressful, i would think.  then there's the dairy where a dairy cow stands in a truck, the truck is kind of like an ice cream truck where the side opens up and you can see in.  anyways, this dairy cow is in there, just standing and staring at the wall, while this big ol dude talks about how dairy is so important for our teeth and bones and for us to be healthy and strong.  then he milks the cow with his hand and then with the pump.  then theres the beef station where they talk about how beef and meat is an integral part to the food pyramid, theres the livestock truck, you know the big ones with small holes that animals are carried around in?  the kids get to run all throughout it.  but the problem that i have with it is that it shows the kids that being in there is so much fun, but it wouldnt bee too much fun if the kids had to stand in there with the rest of their school at the same time like the cows do.  then theres the trapper station where trappers bring all their traps and a couple skins and some stuffed wild animals with them and show the kids alllll about trapping, that one made me nautious.  then theres several other stations talking about animals, like roping, vet care, and some other stuff that i didnt see.  there was one teeny tiny station that i saw that was about tomatos, and another even smaller one about water

thats just another day added to my list of 'days to take off of work'.
