Animals

On Sunday we went to the Stock Show and Rodeo to check out the exhibits and Kid Korral. Trevor was super excited as soon as we walked in the door because he saw a "big mama piggy" with a bunch of baby piggies.
I love his face in this pic...he looks so sweet petting the little piglet.
The petting zoo was free to get in but they were selling cups of carrots to feed the animals. The carrots were a hot commodity...as you can see Trevor was being mauled by the goats!

The camel was a new addition this year. He was nice for the most part...until he mistook Trevor's fingers for carrots. I literally had to tug his pinkie out of the camel's teeth. Yes, Trevor screamed for a minute...until I distracted him with the baby goats.

Here are the baby goats that he loved so much...they were quite cute and soft.
Trevor really liked the little goats.These ones weren't babies, just small ones.
The white tigers were back...the only one that was in a good position for a picture was the baby. The daddy tiger was HUGE....the guy said he weighed over 500 lbs and his paws were bigger than my head.

This has to be the cutest cow I have ever seen. Trevor really liked him too. He is a Scottish Highlander cow. He also liked the carrots!


This year we decided to let Trevor take a pony ride. I am glad we did because he loved it!
Every time he would ride by me he would do a big CHEESE!

Aren't the little piggies sweet all snuggled up for a nap?! Trevor said "Aw, cute baby piggies! Piggies sleeping."

We had a really good time. It was the only cold day all week, imagine that! But Trevor enjoyed himself. He wasn't tall enough for any of the rides yet, but didn't seem to care much. Next year we are going to actually go to a rodeo show.
He won himself an inflatable hammer in the "Chose a Duck" game and I won him a Scooby Doo in the Break a Plate game.
In other news....Papa, my dad, will be visiting in 2 weeks. Trevor is super excited to see him and I am trying to plan some fun things for us to do.

That looks like so much fun! I can't believe that camel tried to swallow his fingers, Trevor is such a trooper to carry on after that! :) Glad you guys had a good time.
