We went to the fair with our friends Jeremy, Kristin, and Lindsay. Our first animal experience at the fair was the sad little ponies trudging around in a circle. Drew saw them and thought they were dogs! He pointed, said "dog," and then started panting like a dog. He and I looked at the ponies for a little while, and I tried to explain to him that they are small horses.
Our friend Lindsay (and her husband Jayme) are going to have a baby in September! Here is Lindsay showing Drew a horse in the petting zoo. Drew preferred to hang on to his cup and stay away.
In this picture Kristin is showing Drew a sheep. Drew was so excited by all the people and things to see that he had a hard time staying focused on what we were trying to show him.
Here are the beginning of the llama pictures. Jana LOVES llamas. She wants one to go jogging with her (they advertise llamas as great running partners). If it's a female, she will name it Llola. If it is a male, she will name it Lloyd.
All those animals and what does Drew go for? . . . a balloon. 
Drew finally got into the animals a little with this goat. You'll notice that once he finally started to touch the animals his sippy cup magically disappeared.
Our friend Jeremy got a tiny chick to show to Drew. Drew did a great job of touching it softly (we've been working on soft touches).
Here's Jana with her llama friends. I'm not sure if these were Lloyd or Llola llamas. 
Next, we took Drew to see the sheep. Look at the coat on this gal!
Here are the sheep that were freshly shorn. Drew loved the sheep! They were going "baaaaaah" while Drew was around, and he responded with some "baaaaaaahs" of his own.
Whoa, this sheep had some serious wool on him. He even had his own fan to keep cool. Drew and I both stared at this guy for a while.
Drew did NOT like the pigs. It was feeding time and they were noisy and screeching. It was a pretty annoying noise and we couldn't leave the pig area fast enough for Drew.
This little girl was kind enough to bring her goat over to show Drew. Drew had fun petting it and saying "hello" to it.
They had LOTS of different animals at the fair like pigeons, chickens, and rabbits. This is an Angora rabbit. It looked like a fur ball!
Drew thought the mom and baby goat were really neat (so did the adults). We were all oooohing and aaaaahing over the baby.
Check out the size of that cow next to Jana and Drew! Can you see the udder? Drew was looking over for a little milk snack :)
Did I mention that Jana likes the llamas? Here she is in another llama section.
The draft horses were huge! Look at the size of that draft horse that Kristin is petting. Drew is checking out the hooves that were the size of dinner plates. We finished with the draft horses, and we were amazed by their size. 
Back at home this past weekend Drew walked up to the TV and kept on saying "car, car, car." Can you see why? 
I took out the camera to take a picture of Drew and he immediately plopped down on the floor and "posed" for me. This kid has been around the camera a lot!
One of Drew's new favorite toys is a balloon! In this picture Drew is working on shooting it like a basketball.
Jana likes to get down on the floor with Drew and they put their hands and feet in the air while bouncing the balloon around. Doesn't it look like fun?
