Stock Show

On Thursday daddy took the day off to spend time with us and we headed over to the Stock Show in Denver. It was quite windy outside so we felt the zoo may not work out. We attempted to find parking which was less than 25 dollars and we ended up driving farther and farther away from the event. We found the tractor tram that we could take to the event center and Saya loved it. We could have just left after the ride and she would have been happy. We purchased tickets and hung around the event arena and went down to the stables to see all the horses. Saya got to pet one and she was so happy. We then headed over to the other building after seeing a bison and headed to the kids area. She got to ride a pony which she loved! She could have stayed forever riding it but at 6 dollars a ride, no thank you. We looked at all the displays, chickens and roosters before heading to the petting zoo. We had no idea the petting zoo was clear across the entire building but we made it and Saya was tired but still enjoyed it. We got back to the car and she was out like a light and naptime was hard but at least we got one.

Tonight we will take it easy and let the kiddo rest a bit.

Tractor ride.

Horses in the ring.

Checking out the stables. 

An enormous horse to pet

Not sure what this animal is but we had to pet it.

Got her pony ride token. 

Strapped in  by the man (Saya had no problem holding his hand to be carried onto the pony- makes mommy a bit nervous) and daddy right by her side.

Enjoying every minute.

Silly mom couldn't stop taking pictures of the pole.

Ride stopped while another pony pooped. 

Looking like a pro.

Lots of birds. Chickens, ducks, roosters, pigeons and lots more. Couldn't wait to get out of there but held it together for Saya.

A cow named Sally.

A pig and 2 ewes.

Making a 9 News penny with daddy.

Yeah we made it to the petting zoo after a long trek to the end of the building. So many animals to pet. Just wished Saya didn't start petting animals from the back.
