On Saturday Steve, Rosie and I went to the fair grounds with Raelee to see Exotic Animals!
Of course Raelee was the only one excited to see the animals and she got in free, but the rest of us had to pay $8. There were baby tigers, leopard and lion but so far behind the fence that is was hard to see them. Just like at the zoo, to which we have a free pass. Raelee was only interested in the animals that she could pet. She pet the miniature pony but we had to tell her what is was. It was so short and hairy that it looked more like the dog on Peter Pan. There was also a llama, pig, goat, baby burro, rabbit,camel, and chicken. She steered clear of the chicken because when she visited her friends earlier in the week, their chicken had bit Raelee. (I'm sure Raelee was minding her own business and NOT chasing the chicken or anything.) There were a lot of people selling birds, fish, hamsters, reptiles, puppies, turtles and I think there was even a ferret. They had a performing pot belly pig too. I think we killed maybe 45 min., determine to get our money's worth.
Raelee got a little mouse (cat toy) for FREE.
It's fun being a grandparent but my favorite part was when we got home Raelee, Rosie and I had a tea party.
