Bison Farm Diary

Goings on at a Kansas buffalo farm.

Thursday, October 2, 2008

The school kids have been having a blast on their field trips to the Bison Farm.

They start with the Prairie Tram ride to see the buffalo, then the indoor "show and tell" program on how the Native Americans used the bison for their food, shelter, and clothing.

Next the kids shoot the pumpkin slingshot, have a sack lunch in our picnic area, and then the real fun begins! They explores all the different types of mazes, pump the water pumps for the duck race, and pick out their perfect pumpkin to take home,- all while running full blast in fresh country air!

Goodbye to July

Wow- where has the month gone? August is going to roll in tomorrow and I feel like I've barely started summer. Of course we've had a cool and wet July (compared to some years) so thankfully it hasn't been our typical hot and dry summer.

August starts the school season (kids start Aug. 14th here), and it's the month to get all fall merchandise and supplies ordered, AND get ready for the fall maze season.

Today reminded me of fall because of an unusual foggy morning, so I took some photos at the farm gate to show you how thick the fog was. The Visitors Center barely showed up being a light gray color, but the yellow orange pumpkin blossoms glowed like little lights through the fog.

I was out early to get ready for the filming of a TV commercial, plus a motor coach bus tour of grandparents and grandkids was heading our way.

The fog lifted in time for the video shooting, and the bus passengers were thrilled to be filmed "getting off the bus" as part of the commercial. Of course just a few shots of everything will be used, but they thought it was fun to be included.
