Farm Day!

Today we went to the MU South Farms Showcase and enjoyed a plethora of activities including wagon rides, animal petting, fish feeding, corn mazes, cockroach races, Border Collie training (for sheep herding) and wool spinning.  It was wonderful beautiful, and free.  This photo is from our edible insects stop on the tour.  One of the big time entomologists from MU (and a member of our Stake) had a great booth on edible bugs and Jacob, Joshua and I all had one.  They were meal worms, purchased from our local pet store.  They are nutritious, high in iron, and pack a healthier calorie punch than wheat or corn.  Mine were also coated in cinnamon and sugar.  The queasier members of our group abstained.  Michael likes to be with animals, not eat bugs.  Here's a couple of bug eating shots for you.
