First we stopped and saw all the farm animals. Seth has a love/fear relationship with animals and gets so excited to see them. He runs up to them and then stops dead in his tracks about 2 feet away and cowers. He did eventually end up petting a few of them, but it took a lot of coaxing and me standing right beside him. He did spend a lot of time jabbering excitedly, pointing and making animals noises though.
Makelle was kind enough to take a picture of us with the horse, but I neglected to realize that there was no horse from her vantage point, so here we have a nice picture of me and the little boys with a metal roof. Great memories :)
For some reason my kids have to stop and get their picture taken whenever they see these cut-out boards. Classic.
We ended the day with free pony rides, and elephant show and strolling through the booths. This guy was trying to recruit people to sign up for karate classes and let Corbin break a board by punching it. He was pretty proud of himself and even asked to keep his board. We also stopped and saw the bunnies and chickens. Now that the kids have pet chickens of their own, it was fun to see them walk through the hen house, commenting on the breeds of chickens, the types of eggs they produced and whether they were male or female (we unfortunately now know a lot about that, since 2 of our 3 pullets ended up being cockerels... after listening to roosters crow in our backyard for a few weeks Caleb determined that the agricultural store must have accidentally mixed up the bins :) They said that next year they want to enter their chickens in the fair, which I think would be fun for them, so we'll have to remember that for the future. It was a long, hot day that we absolutely loved!
