At the County Fair

These baby goats are playing "king of the mountain'.  Throwing each other off only to climb right back up and do it again.
The neighbors are wondering what all the racket is about and could they please keep it down.
These are some hungry cows. 
Baby pigs just 14 days old.  You can't see mama.  She's completely out on the other side of the pen.  Taking advantage of nap time.
Eli took up the challenge of building a structure starting with the crushed can at the bottom.  He's pretty pleased with himself.

The Charro Horseshow.  A show in honor of Mexican Independence.


Dancing horses.  I'm not kidding.  I've never seen anything like it.  They danced around to the beat of the music and stopped when the music stopped. 
The county fair rolled into town with all its sights and sounds.  We were delighted by the 4-H animals, the pig races, the art, the amazing dahlias, the ancient Bonsai.  Some Bonsai there was more the 100 years old.  I wonder how many owners it has had.  No frisbee dogs this year.  Too bad.  Eli wanted to see the "cat dog".  We skipped the sea lions.  Emily came but ran around with her friend and spent way too much time at the hypnotist.  However, they didn't volunteer.   That  probably is a good thing.
