Animal Fun at the State Fair

One of the big highlights for me at any state fair are the animal barns. Chris and I walked through several barns and then found this special one with lots of baby animals in it. It reminded me of the baby animal barn at the MN state fair - it's my favorite thing in the whole fair!

Here are some pics.....

The baby goats napping together:

A baby giraffe - so cute!

Baby piggies eating dinner....

This creature was some sort of beast that has 4 horns coming out of his head! He looked like a jester!

Here's the goat area - tons of babies and some mommies....

This is some sort of weird llama animal and it had kind of a poodle-type custom haircut - plus it was full of woodchips/shavings. He was hilarious!

And this is a very small breed of kangaroo with her baby in her pouch! I don't think I have ever seen a baby kangaroo actually in the pouch!

We also got to see the facility where the Dallas Police keep their horses and dogs:

So cool to see the cops in their riding boots and pants with built-in chaps!

Here is a cowboy leading his horse out of a stall....

Here are some sheep in their 'coats' for the night - they look ready for bed in their pj's!
