Farm Show

This year it was 97th in a row. Wow! My friend Renee went 4 days this week :) I would have too. They have good natural local food and oh, do not forget milkshake! :)

Here is annual butter sculpture - every year it is different but usually is made by one person, takes about 10 days and uses 1000 lbs of butter. This year it represents what is made in Pennsylvania. I guess it is kind of like playing with playdough but bigger size. It is pretty impressive.


Those alpacas were so stinking cute!  
 This one.. I just wanted to cuddle it and take it home with me :)
 Oh yeah, it cost 10 bucks (really!) and I took a better picture than the guys who Pop paid to.
Brandon, showing this sheep his bull pictuer. Those sheep were something. Especially one, who seemed to know how to open their gates.
We did not spend much time at bunnies cages (surprise), patting them or guinie pig, we walked through the rows of chickens and rooster. Those creatures.. There was one breed of roosters, sooo weird! I took a picture but it is not clear. It looked more like a peacock! Crazy!

Most of the time we spent watching chickens hatch. It was prety cool!
 This little guy had very hard time walking and was still so wet from being in the egg. We did not see the whole process but we saw one egg started being hatched and a little beak peeking through :)
Funny thing, before the show, Brandon said he did not want to be hit by a cow and I laughed at what he said. However.. later, while walking, Brandon literally was about to be hit by one when somebody was taking his cow to be shown. Talk about coincidences! :)

My most favorite "attaction" was butterfly house. First I was reluctant to go, just going because kids wanted to. But I had so much fun inside of it! They give you a qutip dipped in gatorade. Apparently, butterflies enjoy "eating" it. Brandon had a lot butterflies getting on them, Non had a couple, I had one and Kyra couple
