The Outdoor Kansas Wedding

My cousin Sarah tied the knot! Outside, on a farm, and boy was it cold! But well worth it. A tractor took the guests to the wedding site in the field. It was an evening wedding and the pictures make it look a lot darker than it was. Check out the wedding cake...layers of chocolate brownies!!! Yum! Congrats Sarah and Hi!

Hayride on Hellar Farm

My uncles are wrestling in a buffalo wallow...this circular area of land is where the buffaloes drank and when it had no water, they wallowed in it. This was decades and decades ago, before farming, but the wallows are still there. The wallows have their own distinct vegetation because its still kind of swampy!

Thanksgiving Day and Bonfire in Kansas

Turkey Day at my aunt and uncle's house/farm in Kansas. Football, Manhattans and...fire, lots of fire. This was no ordinary bonfire...it was HUGE! The kids/younger cousins loved it. I guess when you live on hundreds of acres, it's not a concern! As you can see, we had to stand WAY back because it was so hot.
