By 8:30 we were loaded up and off to the fair in Lynden. And what a great time we had! Collin especially loved the horse-drawn carriages and talking to the animals in their own languages. He went down the halls of the barns saying "Moo", "Neigh", "Baa", "Maa" (goat) and "Wake Up, Pig!" to the appropriate animals. He also got to pet a calf, a sheep, an alpaca, a pygmy goat, and a horse. It was a blast! Owen must have thought so too because he was bobbing and weaving and grinning and laughing almost the entire morning! I got so many great shots! Below is a photo recap:
Owen smiling as we near the barns and he hears the loud animal sounds!
The boys grow still as a calf nears and sniffs for Collin's scone.
Talking with the sheep.
Petting the alpaca.
Are you having a fun birthday? "Yes, Mama, YES!"
Collin cautiously reaches up to pet the horse's nose.
Hello, Horse. My name is Collin.
They could handle the animals, but a clown ... here they are watching the clown create balloon animals. He made Collin a blue doggie.
Posing with Rainbow the Clown.
Mama, if I shriek in this building, it will echo!!
Did you hear that!?!
This is so much fun!
What are we doing next? I can't wait! (We're waiting in line for Collin to milk the cow.)
Milking the cow was so cool ~ milk actually came out and filled the bucket. Then you dumped the bucket into a measuring cup to see how much you'd milked. Collin really got into it and was splashing milk everywhere!!
Blowing raspberries in the hay.
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn! Here's Collin touting the kazoo he found in the hay pile.What a great day! We headed home at 12:30, and both boys immediately crashed in the car. Good thing because the day was not even close to over. We still had lots of time to party with the birthday boy! (More to follow in next post ...)
