Young's Dairy

While we were in Dayton with our two oldest grandchildren back in June, we visited Young's Dairy in Yellow Springs.  Most of this long Amtrak journey had been a learning experience of science, technology, history and zoos but we wanted to fit in some recreation too so we put aside an afternoon to visit Young's Dairy.

This farm has grown significantly since I had lived in Dayton but it still has the same general vibe...  you know it is a farm but there are quite a few things to do.  Of course, it is a dairy so there is homemade ice cream too.  

You'd think that the ice cream would have hit the spot on a day that was in the triple digits with humidity close to 100% but, by the time we were ready for some ice cream, we were completely drenched in sweat.  Sitting in the air conditioned creamery while completely soaked with clothes sticking to us was quite uncomfortable!  By this time, the sky had opened up with heavy rain and a passing thunderstorm so sitting outside was not an option either.

On the positive side, the sky didn't open up until after we finished a round of mini golf so we were ready for some ice cream!

This is Barnabe's Walnut Grove which is a picnic area...

We played 18 holes at "Udders and Putters"...

Here is a rare photo of me!  I recognize the shoes.  I shot this while putting with one hand...

If I remember correctly, Lukey kicked our butts on the first half of the course but Kenzie really kicked our butts on the back end (no pun intended!).  

We had a good time here and we were very happy with the timing of the thunderstorm.  The rain waited until we were indoors having ice cream!
