We went to the petting zoo first. Jason and I both knew that Aspen was going to love it considering her fondness for Bella and the chickens. I was really impressed with all the animals in the petting zoo.
Listening to her Dad about how to be gentle with the animals. |
After the petting zoo we walked over to the pony rides. At first I didn't think she was old enough to go on them, but we saw a few people with kids her age--so when at the rodeo, ride a pony! This were looking really grim when Jason first put her on the pony. I honestly thought she was going to start screaming and we were going to have to exit early.
But as soon as the ponies started moving she was fine and loved it. I could hear her yelling out "Choo-choo!". She pretty much says "choo-choo" for any type of ride we go on. I'm so glad she stayed on and enjoyed her first pony ride.
Then we headed over to the pig race tent. This was hilarious and so much fun and Aspen just loved watching the little piggies run around the track. She just kept saying "more,more" after the races were over.
Excited for the races to start! |
We grabbed some lunch and after that walked through the main fairground area with all the animals. It was cool to see the different "Grand Champions". They were still having competitions while we were there that you could watch. Aspen really enjoyed watching the horse and carriages in the warm-up circle. I think she was pretty exhausted by this point and was just enjoying watching them go around and around.
We had a great time and can't wait til next year!

It looks like ya'll had fun. Maybe next year, we could go together.
The next time we have a family vacation, Aspen will get to ride the pony like Cameron did. I'm glad she liked the pigs!
