A holiday at the Davies Dairy Farm.

The Brotons have been so helpful on the farm these past few weeks! The farm is near the West Coast in a place called Maxwell, anout 30mins drive from Wanganui. On the farm there is about 200 cows which get milked every morning around 5.30am and again every afternoon around 3.30pm. Because it's coming up to winter the cows haven't got much longer to milk. In July they will calve and start milking again. One afternoon we hopped in the car with Riley and away we went. Riley tried to eat the Brotons, but fortunately for the Brotons, Mummy said no.

We got the cows in from their paddock, and even had a go at riding the motorbike.

After we got the cows in, we milked them all. We got a little bit dirty, but luckily we were able to have a wash afterwards.

While the cows get milked they have Palm Kernal to eat, they love it!

After milking was finished, we helped hose down.

Unfortunately when we got back to Taupo we realised Mummy Broton had had a wee accident with her hair. We're not sure where, please don't tell the labour department. I'm sure Mummy Broton will have a new and improved do by the time the next blog is up.

Thanks so much for coming to stay, we enjoyed showing you around!

Picnic after the boat trip

It was such a lovely day after we went on the Jet boat ride we went for a picnic with the fantastic Kylee some of her family and Lee her daugher Tiffany children. Would you believe Lee has a little grandson called Riley. We will introduce you to him a little later when we have a bit more time

Wasn't it a lovely day the river was so inviting to go for a swim but we decided we better not.

We have to get going now, we are heading back to the farm. Expect another update soon we are going back to Lee's in Taupo on the weekend and will be able to put the farm photos up

Back in Taupo

 Hi Broton's  We have been staying in the country on a dairy farm with no internet access we have just popped into town so we can do a quick update for you. First of all before we came to the farm we went back to Taupo to stay with Lee and Dean Tindle. We didn't get any photos with them but we will be back there on the weekend so will introduce them to you then. But did we have an exciting time in Taupo!! Lee's son Mike works at Hukafalls Jet and he took us for a trip. We were a little worried that we fall out of the boat but Mike assured us he would keep us safe even though there were no life jackets to fit us. He was so kind and shared his with us and we felt so safe.

Just before we got on the jet boat we had our photos taken with some others from Lee's family that were coming with us 

Here we are with Mike Renee (Mike's partner) Tiffany (Lee's daughter) and  Tiffany's two little girls Holly and Lauren

Heading towards the bridge

Mike telling everybody the rules on the boat

Like how to now he is going to spin the boat and how we have to HANG ON!!

Under the bridge we go
