Livestock Show Field Trip

I was super excited to get the e-mail from Addy's teacher last week that was telling us about a last minute field trip - the livestock show, on a Monday morning.  Perfect!  It was lots of fun and we got to do all of the kiddie livestock show activities, including the petting zoo. 

 Howdy came in for a visit with the kids.  Ella was terrified, but Addy ran right up and gave him a hug.  

 In past years, Ella has been semi-terrified of the animals in the petting zoo, but she wandered around on her own this time and had a nice visit with all of them.  There really are super cute animals in there, and so much better than the petting zoo at the real zoo where they really only have scrubby looking goats - although not a huge fan of the deer that was trying to eat my shirt today.     

 Ella was a big fan of Fun On The Farm  

 Here is Ella showing Meme how to milk a cow.  Mary had mentioned that it had a been a while since she'd been to the livestock show, so when this came up I invited her to join us.  She got the true livestock experience with the Wolf girls, plus 22 other kindergarteners.

I think that Addy needs a bunny!
