Henry, what does the sheep say?

Today Gabe had to work so Henry and I went to the 4H Fairground for Agricultural Days, where they had exhibits set up for kids and animals as well. Henry got to see all kinds of animals: baby lambs, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, roosters, baby ducks, horses, cows, alpacas, bees, bunnies. He even got to pet the baby lambs, baby bunnies, alpacas, cows and horses! It was pretty cute, he would touch the animal and open/close open/close with his hand, and then smile at the person holding the animal. Actually, he was way more interested in smiling at and studying the person holding the animal! Ahh, that's our social little boy! I couldn't get any pictures of Henry touching the animals since I didn't have an extra set of hands, but we did take many pictures of Henry parked in front of the animal cages. Another part of the exhibit included many different stations for the kids, where they picked up a basket at the beginning and then went around completing different activities. They could pick an apple, pick cotton, make the stages of a butterfly with pasta (I'm keeping that one in mind for a future elementary science lesson!), pick a carrot, pick an egg, and plant seeds. It was pretty well done and I'm excited for Henry to go back next year and future years to participate in those activities as well.

These pigs eat as much as I do


Had to take a picture with the John Deere for Dad

Can you say ALPACA?

Mom, do you see the cow?

These bunnies sure are interesting (yes, the brown blobs are bunnies)
