Last night Justin & I took Dailey to the fair to see the animals. We went to the sheep/goat barn first with hopes Logan would be in there, but he wasn't. We showed Dailey his lambs & they were very friendly...they stuck their heads as far out of their pins as they could to see her! I was petting them & when I asked her if she wanted to pet them she very seriously told me "No petting!". We got a good laugh out of her & continued to walk through & look at the animals. The next barn was the pig barn & she wanted nothing to do with them. It was really loud, the pigs were all snorting & squeeling so she went through the whole barn with her finger on her mouth telling them "shh". The cattle were the same thing as the pigs, not exactly what we expected out of her! :) She thought the draft horses were pretty cool though. Justin knew one of the guys that owned a few of them so he let us in a stall with a HUGE draft horse that had a baby. The mommy horse was gigantic & the baby was the size of a full grown 'normal' horse, but it was really tall & lanky. Dailey didn't really want to pet it until I did, then she was all for it. She liked to touch her head & her neck, the whole time saying "Neigh, neigh!"
When we were done with the animals we headed to the food to find something for dinner & to sit down to eat. My feet needed a rest :) After dinner we walked back through the sheep barn to see if maybe she would want to pet them. This time she wanted out of her stroller & wanted to pet everything! There were 2 tiny baby goats that she loved! My mom has some friends who are big into goats (they have like 20 at the fair!) and they were in there so they let Dailey feed 1 of them peanuts & pet all of them. She started off really good feeding, but pretty soon she was just setting the peanuts on the ground outside of the pin. It was torture for the goat because she couldn't reach any of them! They also took one of their babies out of the pin & let Dailey pet it. She was taller than the goat was, so she wasn't scared at all. She kept putting her face in the goats face and saying "baaaa". It was pretty cute!!
She thought this little goat was so funny...maybe because it didn't have ears!?
She really loved these little babies...they were small & didn't have ears either.
This was before she started putting the peanuts on the ground for her to eat. This poor goat looked like it was going to pop! She is due soon & they think she is carrying triplets - ouch!!
She thought it was so funny when the goat ate from her hand the first time!
