The FFA students at the High School invited us over for their Food For America program.  There they taught us about where our food comes from.  We also learned about farm and food safety.  We got to pet horses, calves, chickens, rabbits, goats, and sheep.  Our favorite was eating yummy layers of edible soil.  Here are some pictures.

I caught two Great Plains Rat Snakes in my garage this fall.  We kept them long enough for my kids to show their classes and me to show mine.  Of course we had to feed them after keeping them that long.  I snapped a few blurry pictures of one snake swallowing a mouse…whole.

We had a great time dressing up for Halloween.  During our party, we traveled to different classes and played games.  When we ate treats and sang the “13 Days of Halloween.”  Here are some of our photos.

Curtis’ grandpa, Marv Dahman, spoke to our class earlier this year about the 2 Woolly Mammoth Skeletons discovered in Carl Junction.  I included pictures of Marv and the items he brought.  I also included pictures of the newspaper article about the find.  I recorded the presention and will try to post it as a postcast soon.
