Since both Wayne and I had the day off, we took the kids to the Royal Winter Agricultural Fair yesterday. Dubbed "where country meets city", you could easily tell our kids were truly city born and bred. They were the ones holding their noses as they gazed upon the cows, sheep, goats, various turkeys and chickens. They went "pee-yew" and gagged whenever they saw an animal defecating in front of them, and laughed hysterically at the sheep clad in their white "clansmen" styled coats after the sheep had their wool shorn. Okay, so did we. And to be honest, I had never been that close to a cow before either.
But the kids had a great time, and loved feeding the various species at the petting farm area. See Devlin's and Ceilidh's face after the first ticklish feed?
Aisling shouted out "cow" as we walked past many, many varieties of cattle. Ceilidh looked at one udder and said that it was a boy cow because there was a pee-pee on it. At least no one wanted to bring home a lamb for a pet.
There were lots of treats for all. Cotton candy, delicious fudge, gourmet lollipops, yummy fresh cut fries.
And the doggie show. After waiting in line, and sitting on bleachers for 30 minutes, while trying to keep a very very tired toddler entertained, the President's Choice Super Dog show started. It's really a bunch dogs of various breeds and sizes running through an obstacle course. The kids love seeing how fast the dogs can run and how high they can jump. It was a very entertaining show. But after all that, Ceilidh was really only interested in looking for Rover, the President's Choice dog food mascot in the rubber suit!
