We took Stephanie today on the Kaw Valley Farm Tour. About 30 local farms were open to the public, and we managed to see six of them. The website said to plan to have enough time to see only 4-5, but as usual, we are an above average family :) Some of the farms run a regular business out of the property, so you can technically go to those farms whenever, but several were just family farms that are not normally "open", so those seemed like a special treat. We saw a family poultry farm, a bee farm, an orchard, a winery, an alpaca farm and a buffalo farm. We got wagon rides at the poultry farm and the orchard- very popular with the whole family and got to pet an alpaca that was born yesterday. The last thing Stephanie said before collapsing to sleep in her car seat was, "I go to 'nother farm", which we would have, except for the whole part where she was clearly unconscious.

| First wagon ride at the poultry farm- chilly morning. |
 |
| One of these lovely white birds can look forward to be served at our house for Thanksgiving. |
 |
| Why yes, that IS a large tire full of wheat! |
 |
| In case you wondered about the best way to empty a bunch of pockets full of wheat. |

| ALPACAS- and thankfully it warmed up a bit. |

| One day old alpaca |
 |
| Feeding the alpacas was also very popular |
 |
| At the buffalo farm- The buffalo were pretty far off in the distance, but some horses were quite close. |
 |
| Two days in a row now that we have run her until she dropped. |
