After explaining how they sheer a lamb, make yarn, then wool and told us to go home and find something wool we have one of the kids in our group says in a sad tone...
"we don't have sheep so our home won't have any wool"
learning to groom the sheep
Did you know alpaca's wait in line to use the bathroom in one place...
they don't like a messy living environment.
We deal a lot with Hay these days (Oat Hay, Alfalfa and more) but on this trip we learned how they make the straw bales for lining animals cages. I'm always surprised how interesting I find o
Learned about Goats and played with LOTS of them
Practicing our poses!
And here is the group we went with. I met one of the moms recently at Awana's and she invited our family to join them. They were all very sweet and we are so glad we went. Adia was there to help me (and get out of doing all her school that day) and she was so embarrassed that the moms wanted her in this picture.
Obviously Kaden had a great time or he would NEVER have fallen asleep over 2 hours before nap time. He's SO CUTE!!!!!
The pies turned out great and all the kids had a blast!
My kids are a bunch of hicks and they can't get enough animals!
yes, there was candy in that dish - hmmm... where did it go? Kaden!

So good to hear from you Amy! What a beautiful family God has blessed you with. We enjoyed looking at the pictures. Pass along our greetings to Kyle. Check out www.burkinahope.com and take a look a my most recent trip to West Africa and my involvement in that part of the world. - Chad

LOVE Fog Willow. So fun to see you doing field trips with all your kiddos! Go Adia being the best helper ever!
Growing up in Bakersfield (sheep farming/Basque community) we got to visit lots of sheering sheds through the years. The Hargis' also had a spinning wheel & loom to process their own yarn...she even dyed the yarn different colors. Glad the Mid-kids had a great time. I want to go to Denver Dan's, too! LOVE Apple Hill & Fog Willow!
Love the pumpkin farm pics. Brayden met the kid of the owners via a tournament baseball league this spring. Can't wait to check it out.
Chubby face, whatever AMY! Love the new hair color...its very pretty.
Animals and kids just go together. Glad the kiddo's enjoy them so much. Looked like a fun trip.
