Date Festival





Fun day at the Date Festival!  Lots of animals to look at and enjoy.  We watched pig races (hilarious).  They raced around a track to get to the prize, which was a single oreo on a silver platter.  The audience was divided by color/cheering sections =-)

The kids loved all the baby animals.  The petting zoo had some very exotic creatures, like the Cavies from South America.  They looked like a cross between giant rodents and kangaroos.  Water Buffalo, Yaks, Lamas were a few other interesting critters in there.  Sea Lions were fun to watch too.

Both kids sat in Border Patrol cars, complete with flashing lights and sirens.

Nobody went too nuts on the junk food.  Ryan is in love with Cotton Candy, Ash just wanted a vanilla swirly cone.  The deep fried zucchini was pretty darned good, I must say.  We passed on the deep fried Twinkie's!
