Abi has a little apprehension when it comes to animals, especially bigger animals that aren't dogs or cats. I was hoping that she would have fun anyway.
The first thing we saw when we got to the fair was the pigs. Most of them were sleeping (under a blanket of flies- ewww), but Abi didn't think they were cute. She cried. I got a little worried and hoped that this wouldn't be the norm for the night. Then we got to the sheep and goats and she started to cheer up a little bit.
This goat kept trying to eat Abi's stroller.
Biggest onion I've ever seen.And this watermelon.
90 lb watermelonAnd these pumpkins.
This pumpkin weighed almost 1000 lbs!
They also had some honey bees working in a hive that you could see inside.
Next we saw a Utah wildlife exhibit were they had some stuffed native game animals and birds and tanks with live native fish.
Abi and I compared our wing-span with these wild birds.Then we looked at some beautiful blooms.
I'm growing these next year
After that, while we were looking at the photography on display in the art gallery, Abi asked, "Abi ride a horse?" I was a little surprised, again because of the anxiety she seems to get around larger animals. I sort of put it off, but she kept asking, "Abi ride a horse, please?" over and over. We couldn't say no; she said "please".
She's only two, but she rode like a big kid, all by herself. I was really proud.
To finish off the night Abi rode a few rides...
...and ate some cotton candy.
Abi had a blast and when we got home she would not stop talking about it.
"See the amimals?" (I didn't misspell, that's how she says it)
"Abi ride a horse."
"Piggy's scary."
"Goat eat Abi's stroller."
So fun. Can't wait till next year.
