Sonoma County Fair
Last week, we went to Santa Rosa for about 5 days and visited with our Fannin family.
We went to the Sonoma County Fair a couple of times. It was a really nice fair.. much nicer than the San Joaquin County Fair. Plus, the weather wasn't as hot! Huge plus.The group going in..
(he just woke up from a nap in the above pic)
Watching the Border Collie sheepherding competition..
ahh, another uncle (this one is Dave
).. Austin loves his uncles!
Cousin Kelsey..
There were some really obnoxious sheep in this competition.. one kept stomping at the dog! It was fun to watch and esp. interesting b/c Dave and Andrea brought their 3 legged Border Collie with them to visit, and he was herding Austin all over the house. He has great instincts for never being trained and just being a pet!
We didn't see this but Andrea and Dave did and said it was good.. they are from Branson, Missouri! Austin probably would've liked it.. wish we would have seen it.
Anhueser Busch (I think I totally spelled that wrong) Clydesdales.. HUGE horses.
Pushing his stroller in the dirt.. very entertaining apparently..
He insisted on going to see the really BIG cows. I think it was naptime in this barn or something.
Since he woke up from his LONG nap and we immed. left for the fair, we got dinner there, pizza.. and it was GOOD.
..pointing at his "choo choo train" windmill stake that we found to put next to his sandbox in our yard! I had been looking all over for some kind of "boyish" yard thing to stick out there and was so excited to find a whole booth at the fair selling these types of things. Also found a little flag to stick out there that has a baseball, basketball, football and soccer ball on it. Hooray for the fair.
He was so proud of it.. here he is carrying it into the house when we got back home.. that is Skippy, the 3 legged Border Collie, happy to see his family back home.
The 2nd time we went to the fair, I didn't take any pics except for these two owls that were out at the Bird Rescue booth. The tiny one is a full grown Screech Owl. Amazingly small and beautiful.
The End (of the fair pictures.. next time I'll post some family visiting pics)

@oeshpdog2 - yep, you guessed it. lol he likes it that way and it was cool enough for long sleeves and pants, so there ya have it. did you see my prev. post? i posted the pics of when you guys were here. today mammaw said to me, "I never did enjoy something like I enjoyed those boys visiting."
aww.. isn't that great? you should visit more often! she also said she felt bad and that she wanted to send you some money for the groceries you bought. i think after everyone teased her about scolding you, she felt bad. LOL
