Olmsted County Fair

Earlier this month, we spent a couple of evenings at the fair. One evening to check out the animals and another evening spending with my all of my family - all 17 of us to go on the rides. These pictures are from our evening with the animals.

We were very impressed with the petting zoo because they had so many different types of animals. Typically, you expect to see the cows, horses, pigs, and sheep... but Zebra?

Amaya was pretty excited when she saw the ponies.

She was so excited, she gathered up the courage to ride one too!

New this year was "The Miracle of Birth Center." Several animals were born just that morning. This cow was only a few days old.

Amaya got a chance to pretend to milk a cow.

The cow's name was Milkshake.

Cute little sheep....

My favorite animals were the pigs.

Amaya got a little lesson on how the pigs are fed.

Tomorrow, I hope to get the chance to blog about our adventures on the rides with all the kiddos!
