Stockshow 2012

We went to the stock show this week, it was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun.

The kids love riding in the wagon, Lily especially likes riding in the wagon, Andrew takes care of her making sure she has her snack cup and water cup at all times.  Drew liked holding the map.

 Lily got all dressed up and wore her boots and hat.

 Andrew checking out the cows.

The FFA kids were showing off their sheep and goats on the day we went.  Here Andrew is petting a sheep.

 Uh oh we are breaking the rules (the sign) a kid is on the loose.

 I tried to get a family picture of us, this is the best we got.

 Our little farm boy pulling his wagon.

 They had these cute cow ears for the kids, so I tried to get a picture of the kids and this was the best I got.  Lily did not like the ears on her head and Andrew kept trying to force them on her.

 We were in a room full of hands on exhibits of cotton and other agricultural stuff and Andrew was drawn to the tv’s.

 A picture with my little cow.

 There was a little petting zoo, here is Andrew meeting a Llama.  I liked the Llamas because they look like they are always smiling with the teeth.

 This kid loved the other kids attacking him for food.

 Andrew did not stop smiling, he loved all of the attention he got from the goats.

 Lily checked out the animals safe and sound with momma.

 I love that smile.  When we got home I told Bobby I really want to get a goat and some chickens for Andrew to play with in the backyard, because he loved them so much.  Then I remembered that  we have a dog that I can barely feed and take care of, so adding more animals is probably not the smartest thing for us.

 Andrew getting more food to feed the animals.

 I LOVE that smile!

Andrew having so much fun.

 Time to leave the petting zoo tent.

 Waving good bye to the animals.

 Waiting in line to ride a pony.

 Andrew waited so patiently, but he was ready to ride the pony.

 Lily looking tired, but still awake and taking it all in.

 Andrew rode Pocahontas and loved every minute of it.

He held on tight and really enjoyed riding the horse.  Bobby and I were happy we waited in line for Andrew to ride the pony.  When it was over he wanted to ride the pony again.  I guess he needs a pony! haha

We had a lot of fun.  Andrew got to eat a corny dog and Lily got to eat funnel cake for the first time.  She loved it along with breading from the corny dog.
