The kids and I had a blast at the Utah State Fair! Wish Dan could have come though.
The butter sculpture. McKenna didn't want to smile apparently.
They had some cute Lemurs!
The dairy cows
Cute story: I've blogged before about McKenna being quite nervous while being close to most kinds of animals. While at the fair, we started with the birds, chicken and rabbits; all of whom were in cages. She was fine with them. Then we went to the goats, they were all in pens. She was also fine with that. When we got to the cows, who are only tied to a bar/gate running down the middle of the building, she immediately and anxiously asked, "Where are their cages?"
In the end, we saw many animals out of their cages, some sheep even walked right by us bumping into us, and both kids didn't even think twice about it.
The sheep were especially noisy, as you can see by the plugged ears. One did bleat right in Ben's face which made him cry for only a second.
We met up with Dan's sister and kids as well.
This pumpkin is 245lbs!
Cute faces!
The BEST part was when the kids got to pretend to be real farmers! They put on an apron, got a basket filled with feed and dumped it into a trough for a pretend cow and also "milked" the cow.
Picking apples in the orchard
They got to plant a "seed" and then "harvest" what they planted.
Brushing a sheep and feeling what real wool feels like.
Riding a tractor
They got to collect a pretend egg as well. Then they got a play dollar to spend at the market to buy a treat. Here they are enjoying their granola bar and fruit snack.
What a great day!
