WARNING!!! not for the squeemish

It was a little rainy today well, a lot rainy!
We were in class from 8 until 12:30 and then lunch. In the afternoon we had some free time. There was an activity for your free time if you so chose, which we did...I will let the pictures tell the story.

Psyching himself out for the KILL!!!

Yes, we were able to help butcher a pig!!! There was a professional butcher directing the entire thing so nobody got hurt well, except the pig!!! One of the students got to slit the throat after it was shot, then they had 4 people pick it up by the legs and drag into the garage where they put it on it's back on this wooden thing, that looked a lot like what you would see in a manger scene for baby Jesus to be lying in, to start the butchering process. John was one of those people and he was on the bloody side so he got some on his clothes.

The weirdest thing about it was that the legs were moving and it looked like it was trying to run. My friend Amy is in the brown shirt skinning it along with 3 others. Notice that 3 of them are girls!!! Pigs are stinky when they are alive and this one was particularly stinky when he was dead.

After all the excitement and gagging which I did my share of, we went to get cleaned up and read some more of our book before dinner. I hope you enjoyed the pics!!
