First trip to the Texas State Fair

We took John to the Texas State Fair and boy did he enjoy it. His favorite part was the petting zoo area. They had so many different types of animals...goats, sheep, buffalo, ostriches, and the list goes on and on. John was definitely partial to the goats...we kept having to take him back to those. We had a little cup of food (that you had to buy of course) and we would lean down and give the animals some to eat. John was a little leery at first, but when he realized they were sweet little animals, he dove right in and wanted to help out. I realized when we were there that that the only real animals he had seen were our two yorkies...so seeing all these different animals was definitely new and exciting.

The family picture we took shows how interested he was in the animals...we could not get him to look at the camera...go figure. Another "fun" moment was when Barry was feeding food to the ostriches...did anyone know that these birds are like vultures??? Barry held some food out and that bird's beak came down so quick and fast that Barry didn't have time to react to the pecking giant...good thing he didn't get one of his fingers! Seriously...those birds are vicious...so we quickly moved our way past the cannibalistic birds and went back to the sweet baby goats that John loved so much. :)

By the end of the day, John was sound asleep in his stroller...passed out from all the fun and excitement...and maybe the belly full of cotton candy. :)
