The kids really enjoyed seeing all of the animals. We watched the 4-H kids showing their horses, we saw rabbits and chickens, and a few cows. And we watched the pig competition. Joseph was very interested. I was amused by the commentator's monologue: "And here we have so-n-so's pig. Look at that long, lean body. We could use some more of that in this competition. And here is a fine looking pig. Oh, but I'm not happy with the way he drags his back left foot." And so on. Of course, they all looked the same to us.
We went to the exotic petting zoo, where there were all kinds of animals, from a kangaroo, a zebra, a giraffe, to this pot-bellied pig:

Catherine talked about riding her pony, Magic, for days.

Dominic had a great time as well. Nobody could remember his pony's name, so we decided to call him George.
