Parade and County Fair

This morning - Isaac and I met up with Jill and Malachi and Z for the parade downtown. 

We saw LOTS of horses... and "ethnic" dancers...

There was a group of dancers after each float/entry it seemed like.

Isaac was in heaven.... LOVE those DRUMS!

Cat in the Hat

Whoever said you can't eat candy at 10:30 in the morning?
I am sure if it was said.... they didn't have a 2 year old!

(P.S. - Grandma - Notice that he can now actually wear the whole outfit together!)

After the parade, we walked about 5 blocks down to the Qwest Center.  Inside was a county fair of sorts. 

Lots and lots of animals - mostly cows, sheep and pigs but man were the kids excited.  The moms, however, not so excited about all the fecal matter that was accumulating on the stroller wheels!

Look beyond the balloon - Isaac got to pet a 6 day old piglet!

 He was especially fond of this goat!

Maybe he spoke 2 yr old language.

Then we headed outside to see about a tractor ride.  By now it was close to lunchtime so being the super prepared mom that I am (not) I pulled out the only thing in the diaper bag.... MORE JUNKFOOD - or at least fruit snacks.  Hey - Fruit is in the name right? 

I love this next series of pictures.  These three are destined to cause trouble and be good friends. 

They were all running around chasing each other and screaming. 

Finally it was our turn for the ride.
We climbed up the big stairs and got inside the tractor. 
(Sorry salesman - we are not here to buy it.  I guess that was really the intended purpose of the tractor rides, but hey when you advertise free tractor rides, ya gotta know you are gonna interest parents of little kids, especially little boys!  So although they didn't make a sale, they did make a few kids pretty happy!)

Kinda weirds me out how the guy driving was all about looking at the camera for the picture.

Isaac watching him carefully turn around.

Waving at the end of the ride - just before the abrupt stop which happened to rail Isaac's head into the handle!

The guy felt horrible - but Isaac is tough!
