Barnstable County Fair Animals

On Tuesday July 22 we went to the county fair. It was fun, but expensive of course...........the tickets for the rides cost way too much and each game is at least $3, but you get a prize (small prize) automatically if you pay $5 for the game! We spent a lot of time with the animals. This little guy was just walking around, he is only a few days old and very cute!
The chicken area is always a favorite because you get to hold the babies. Cassidy was a little surprised when a baby chick was put on her head..........and very relieved that it didn't have an accident.
Jadzia wasn't so lucky.........."her" baby chick did poop on her hand. She very calmly gave it back to the girl, got the poop of her hand and said "can I hold one that actually likes me now, and won't poop on me". Very funny!
Here is Cassidy and her friend riding the camel. Jadzia chose to ride a pony......all of the pictures I took of her had her looking away. The pony she was on got a little spooked so the guy took her of, settled the pony down and asked her if she wanted to get back on another one.......she said, that she wanted the same one. The guy asked us if it was ok and put her back on. She started putting up one hand and waving it around like she was in the rodeo and the man running the ride had to keep telling her to hold on with two hands. She wasn't one bit afraid.
Before we left, Jadzia said "I can't wait to see the parrots". I told her I didn't think there were usually parrots at the fair, but there would be lots of other animals. I should of listened to her because there were parrots and these Macaws, she thought these were so pretty.
