Harford County Farm Fair

Due to the parking issues, the boys were able to experience their 1st ride in a school bus. They were beyond excited about it and kept on repeating "i ride the bus."

 

We started to walk around and checked out the animal stalls.  First up, were the pigs.

It was a huge surprise for Connor to actually reach out to touch the sheep.  he toys with the idea of getting close to dogs so the sheep came as a real surprise.

The cows are always a crowd favorite at our house.  Before spotting the cows in the stalls, this black cow had Connor's attention along with his water buckets that he was so helpful to put his hands in. Why, Connor, why??

On to the stalls...

The boys were intrigued by all of the tools and vehicles that they saw. They are available for hire..

Muscles pushing the wheel barrow was my favorite!

Jackson moves through the stalls so fast in comparison to Connor, who could just stare at the cows for hours on end.  Michael and I ended up comparing notes on what each boy liked and inevitably, there are things that whomever walking with Jackson will miss.   After looking at the slideshow of pictures, Michael commented that he didn't even realize that either one had done the maze. It's amazing how much you see and don't get to see with either boy when being at the same place with them.

These newborn chicks were adorable. Jackson was offered the chance to hold one and I was so concerned that he would be a little too excited and he did do a little squeezing but did respond when I said gentle.

The boys discovered a new animal, the alpaca, and saw some horses.  I found out afterwards that Jackson actually pet a horse.  We can't recall his name but this picture of the brown horse is the one that I pet, Fudge.  Connor was so happy that I pet him as he was a little tense being that close to the horse.

This is as close as Connor would get to the pony.

One of my favorite pictures of my favorite guys and one big pink bunny!
