Chilling with the bison and the Halvorsons

A few weekends ago I went with the Halvorsons and the SOKS group from the vet school to a bison feed. We got to take a hayride out to the bison, feed them and then we came back and had a bison burger barbecue. The weather was perfect for the fall and we had a blast. Jake was slightly under the weather and didn't enjoy it as much but Skylar had a blast (once we got her to feed the bison instead of throwing the pellets at them). It was nice to spend time with friends and to get out of the house. Sad to say, Mike was unable to make it because he had to be at the hospital.

We got to visit the farm as well as the bison.

These guys were big but it was awesome to see them up so close.

Jake being as cute as ever even though he wasn't feeling well.

Skylar feeding the bison, she didn't like the bison's tongue as you can tell by her face. But once she finally did it, she went through two more buckets of pellets.

How fun!!

We miss you guys so much! Luke got the CARS blanket you sent and he LOVES it! He made a card today that he wants to send you - he kept saying, "Cawrs banket - tank you - Cawowin." Which I think translates to "Thank you for the Cars blanket Carolyn!" =)

Love you guys!
Min, Luke and Will

So let me get this straight...

You went and fed bison, returned to base, and fed ON bison. Wow. That's pretty cruel. Did they let you slaughter your own animal and then run their muscle through the meat grinder yourself or did they do that part for you? ;-)

It's been a hard time since I gave you a hard time about anything. I couldn't pass up this obvious opportunity!
