The Davis County Fair

We started this tradition when I worked at Michael's. My co-worker Nicole would take a week off for the Davis County Fair, because she had pigs and goats and her kids did 4-H. So we started going to support and see her. The kids loved it and now even though I don't work at Michael's (yeah) we still go to the fair to see her and the animals. This is the petting zoo... here we are petting a turtle McKinley was a little nervous about touching it Here we are petting an emu

The kids were allowed to milk a goat. Pretty interesting....it's something I've never done. So here's Carter milking a goat.

Now Madison's turn This year was very exciting and packed they had an animal show with tigers and snakes and such. Well you could pay to go in and be with the tigers. So as a family we went in and sat with a 3 week old tiger cub. In the cage with us was a baby kangaroo....isn't she cute?! Here's Kinney petting the tiger....still not too sure about these animals Carter wasn't too fond of being in the tigers cage or petting her for that matter. This was about as close as he would get. Kinney on her own petting the tiger...I think she's getting the hang of it. Oh wait, now we're wanting to pick up the "baby" How about a kiss. (The trainer said it was okay) Bye baby tiger! It was worth it, how many kids are able to say that they pet a baby tiger? And she was so small, it was really cool!

And of course at the end of the fair we have to get a picture in their sign. That we had a wild time at the Davis County Fair Kinney's turn! I would encourage you to go. It's free other than the parking...and whatever else you'd like to buy or eat...I'm a sucker for funnel cakes...especially at the fair!

Until the next funnel cake or post....
