Cute Animals

We went to the fair a long time ago, but I've been bad about blogging lately so I didn't post any of my pictures. My two favorite things about the fair are food and animals, especially petting the animals. Petting the sheep is my favorite. It's like petting dogs but they're much more calm and warm and their woolly heads feel nice, even if they're under a jacket. They like to sniff like dogs too, but so much more air comes out!Mom and Sarah patted the sweetest sheep of all. It stood up on the fence to visit them!This one really liked to pose. Such a sweet face. :)The cows are pretty fun to pat too, but they make me more nervous. This one licked Raf:And then it licked me! My bag was a little dirty after but it was worth it.We got to pat these two too. They were really soft. They were about to go in a competition. I think cows (or oxen, in this case) have beautiful huge eyes. I'm always amazed by how bony they are!These cows (or I guess oxen) had a goat friend. It reminded me of Seabiscuit, except I think his friend was a sheep. Remember how they lived in the same stall? That was so cute. Here is the cutest picture I took at the fair. Cows (I mean oxen) kissing! I couldn't believe it. :)

Rafael's Pumpkin

Rafael carved a pumpkin for a competition at his office. It was fun! He drew a few designs. The first one has diodes for eyes and a resistor for a mouth. :0 I like the mustache on the second one. He went with the bottom one. He drew his design on the pumpkin very carefully. It was a big pumpkin! Then he scooped out the inside very neatly. :) I like the blurry spoon.
I think the pumpkin came out super cool! I love the big toothy smile! Raf's favorite part is the wink.Spiky (the aloe) liked it too.It looks really cool lit up! Great job Raf!!!!!
