We had a FANTASTIC time...I mean, how can you not?
We started off with a couple rides...
Here is Abby on the motorcycle ride. After MUCH deliberation she went with the pink sparkly one. I think it was a great choice.
Then, we progressed to everyone's favorite...the merry-go-round.
Abby selected an able-bodied white with black mane mare.
She was very well-mannered and the ride was pleasant indeed.
We wandered through a couple of the exhibit buildings and the county watershed dept was there with info and a game for kids. Abby tried her luck in the kiddie fishing hole and actually landed a BIG big muskie...I was so PROUD, I was speechless! (Okay...I know it is a plastic fish with a magnet for a mouth...but there were a LOT of panfish & bass in there...and she came up with the MUSKIE...it was really quite a moment!) Her prize was a red & white bobber.
We then spent the rest of the afternoon going through all the animal barns. The turkey/chicken/duck/rabbit barn kind of freaked Abby out a little. (she must belong to her Uncle Chad's lot...those that are freaked out by birds.) Check out her expression in this photo.
The sheep were much cooler. There were some baby lambs too. And goats that you could feed.
We also got to watch some pig racing. They were FAST...and the announcer was hilarious. All the race contestants had very funny/punny pig names.
We also got to watch some horse competitions...in this one, kids held an egg on a spoon while their horses trotted and gallopped and came to a complete stop. Pretty impressive.
We had such a great time...and will for sure make plans to go again next year!
