Taiwan 2011 - Flying Cow Ranch

After Leofoo Resort, we headed off to Flying Cow Ranch.  This was the second, and cheaper, farm that we stayed at during our holiday in Taiwan.

Alas, despite the name, the cow does not actually fly...

Still, much fun was had!

One of the good things about Flying Cow is that there are a lot more activities for the kids.  I'm guessing this is partially due to Leofoo Resort having an actual theme park next door - this fact leading the organisers to believe that people would rather go to the theme park than stay at the resort.

One of the first activities we went to was a painting jam where we got to paint a small cow (which had no wings and did not fly).

There were also lots of cooking classes where we could make different milk flavoured cakes and cookies.  Being a real farm, with live cows, allowed us to use fresh milk as part of the ingredients.

Freshly baked, milk flavoured soft cake - yum!

Cookies!

The ultimate treat - milk and cookies!

 Finally, lest you forget that Flying Cow Ranch is actually a farm - some pictures of animals

 Gerry even had the chance to milk a cow.  Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures but if we had, you would have seen him with a scowl on his face as he ended up squirting the milk onto himself!
