Every year in August we look forward to the Chelsea Fair. Brett loves seeing all the animals, playing games, and eating special sugary treats. He's not big on the rides (which I never was either), and after hearing about the 2 kids that fell out of the Ferris Wheel this week, I have to admit I'm a little relieved! So, unless his opinion changes in the future, we'll stick to loving on the animals and exploring every thing else a summertime fair has to offer :-)
Our first stop, checking out some of the farm animals....goats, pigs, sheep, and cows!
This baby goat jumped up on the bucket but couldn't figure out how to get down....so cute to watch!
He wouldn't brave the jump even for food!
My smiley boy in his element :-)
Big Bertha snoozing away the afternoon and trying to stay cool!
The Miracle of Life barn is always one of our favorites. This mother cow had just delivered her baby calf that morning! We even got to watch the vet examine her to make sure she was doing well after all that hard work.
Brett was very interested in watching the baby chicks hatch out of their eggs. He asked lots of questions and liked talking about what he was seeing :-)
Cutest baby cow ever!
I used to have a pet Dove when I was a child and they are one of the sweetest breeds of birds. I hope to bring that joy to Brett and have one again some day:-)
After checking out all the animals, it was time for the real excitement to begin.....games! My mom was able to join us this year which made our fair trip even more fun!
And of course, no trip to the fair is complete without some ice cream! Yum!
