Catching up.....again....Critter Day 2

Today was Farm Animal Day.  Blake wanted to check out the place so we went and offered to help.  I am not sure how much of a help we were, but we stayed the whole time and had a blast!  We could smell ourselves by the end of the night!

The kids started off learning all about eggs.


 They had an egg throw to see which eggs were the hardest.
 Then they learned how to rope animals.
 And the poor animals were let loose......
 Brett quickly roped a goat....actually, he grabbed it and put the rope around his neck.
 But it looked good and he was sure proud of himself!
 Blake found this animal.  I can remember its name but he was a wooly thing!
 You would think Brett was a real life cowboy!

 Blake had to help herd the animals back to the pen.
 Meet Marty the Llama....I must admit....he is my favorite!  He had soo much personality and is rotten!


Marty was a little bit tempermental....Bryson was talking to him and he spit in her face.  I am not sure how I got these pictures at just the right moment, but they are priceless!
 
 Look at the dirt from the spit on her face!

 They also had a greased pig contest.  This poor little pig was greased down with Vaseline and then let loose in the pen for the teams to chase, catch and put him back in his gate.

 It was very comical!  Bryson was relentless and caught the pig every time.  Blake got him several times and Brett gave him a good run!

 Bryson was absolutely disgusting after the pig race!
 They tried to put together a chicken coop....
 but there were too many distractions and the coop did not happen!


Bryson was just thrilled when the horses came out and she took charge and made a best friend in no time!

 Day 2 ended with a contest to see who could find 10 Skittles or M&M's first in the whipped cream with their hands behind their back!




Day 2 was a HUGE success!  I did not get any pictures of Day 3- Exotic Animal Day, but they saw the hedgehogs, prairie dogs, chinchillas and other things.  They want to go back to Critter Camp in 3 weeks.....I think they will!
