Night out at the farm

My dad's birthday was yesterday. So we all went over there last night to celebrate. But since the fair starts this week, the fair animals still had to be worked with.

We had supper first, then all the fair animals came out to be worked with. Julia was LOVING IT!!!

Petting the "cow". It is actually a feeder calf, but I thought that might be a little too detailed for Julia. I was impressed she touched it.



She tried to feed the calf a sugar cube, but the calf licked her with his rough tongue in the process and she did NOT like that. She has a weird thing where she does not like to be licked by animals.

The four oldest cousins climbed up on the tractor to watch the pigs being washed on the trailer hooked to it.




Uncle Bill was also washing the calf.


Yum.... A freeze-pop!!


Walking the pigs with daddy. This is the first time Jerrod has walked a hog since he was in 4-H 15 years ago!! (Jerrod was helping walk some of the pigs)




Julia found a Sit and Spin. She really liked it and was getting it to spin her around pretty fast!


After all the animals were taken care of, we sang "Happy Birthday" to Grandpa (my dad). They then re-lit the candles and sang to me (my birthday is tomorrow). She loves birthdays and singing "Happy Birthday", so she thought it was great that she got to sing it TWICE. She even helped me blow out my candles!!
