Animals, Animals!

Last weekend we attended the Oley Valley Fair. This is a little fair near my parents house. They have it the middle of September every year. We've been coming since Chase was a baby (when we've lived close). The kids love the animals. We saw lots and lots of cows, including a calf that was 5 days old. Ainsley liked to pet the baby calf. We saw really cute fluffy bunnies and thick wooly sheep and very close shaven sheep. We saw little goats that liked to nibble on MacGregor's fingers (I wish I could have gotten a photo of that!).

We saw a momma pig with 10 (yes that was 10) pink piglets. They were so cute and that poor momma was never left alone. (Women - imagine your nursing infant that is pulling at your shirt endlessly and whining, now times that by 10!)

We saw duck eggs in an incubator. Some of the ducklings were hatching as we watched.

We were also allowed to pet some ducklings that were about 10 days old. So soft and fuzzy. Ainsley was in HEAVEN!

I made mention of the taxidermy exhibit we visited. You already saw the fish, but here are the kids standing in front of an impressive wolf.

There are a few more pictures to come of our visit to the fair, but they'll have to wait for a new post.
