PA Farm Show

I finally got back to the Farm Show!!! I haven't been to the farm show since before we got married so this was a real treat from me. What made it even more special was that we were able to take Navie. It was a great trip for all of us.
At first it was a little crazy because we had to park on offsite parking and get shuttled over. Normally that wouldn't be bad, but it was freezing out and waiting for a bus in the cold isn't that fun. We decided to get food first when we got over there and of course the food court was PACKED. The food made was great though. I loved getting the cheese cubes!!! I wish I could make them at home!

Navie did a fantastic job with all the animals. I was worried that she would be afraid of them since they are so big but she did great! She was great even when we looked at the cows. It was really good to show Navie the baby cow drinking from the mommy cow. We were able to teach her that milk comes from cows and she could really understand what we telling her.

There were a lot of teaches opportunities for us. We got to show her where milk comes from, how chickens are born, and where wool for clothes comes from.

Of course you can't go to the Farm Show and not check out the butter sculpture.

Navie liked looking at the pigs, that is until a huge pig like this one got loose and almost took out our entire family. Cris heard me yelp when the pig missed my legs by inches and quickly scooped Navie up just time. If he wouldn't have been so quick, that pig would have completely trampled Navie. Whatever they were trying to get the pig to do, it wasn't having it.

Traumatized Navie after the pig.

This silly chicken just makes me smile : )

So over all, you can say we had a great trip! Navie loved the animals (except the runaway pig), and we had plenty of teaching opportunities. I can't wait to go again next year!
