This year we froze our pumpkins off during the Kaw Valley Farm Tour. Reaching a balmy 50-some degrees out, it was certainly the coldest year for this event we've had yet. But a tradition is a tradition, so we bundled up, pulled up our boot straps, and went out to have fun whether we liked it or not.

Each year we forget the name of at least one farm we visited the year before and spend a good long time looking at the map and trying to figure it out. Since they are all clustered in the same region, and participating farms can (and often do) change from year to year, the map is pretty useless in this respect. We finally figured out that one of the farms that the kids enjoyed the past two years was definitely NOT listed on the tour this year. However, we did make a stop at another great pumpkin patch (off the list, but nearby) and Iwig Dairy, which is the farm that we buy all of our milk from. They have a small stand-alone store in town, so we don't have to drive out to the farm every time we need a refill. So this stop was a treat.

I asked Anna if she realized how amazing it was that a little girl
would get the chance to meet the cows the provide the milk she drinks.
Happy Halloween!
