SHEEP SHEARING DAY

We went to Sheep Shearing Day at Missouri Town this morning. Violet got to see how sheep are shaved and what they do with the wool after. Shaving, washing, spinning and dyeing, weaving and knitting.
Naked sheep. This is the same sheep from the above pic after he got his hair cut. They had lots of demonstrators today. You could have even bought the wool. A woman bought all the wool cut from the sheep we watched being shaved.
We got to pet these guys once they came out of the field.

Then we went over to the boat docks near the lake and had a picnic. Both of us were very hot and tired when we got home and took naps.
