Barnyard Days

The Cuba High school always puts on Barnyard Days. The students can bring in their pets or tractors or livestock... whatever to show off for the day. Every since my kids were little, I have taken them to the school for this day and let them see the animals. It is always a huge hit. Here are the highlights...

Bunnies...

... my personal favorite... but the girls weren't too sure about them.

Cadie...

... found this hamster the most captivating!

Courtney....

... really liked the cats.

Grandma J even came out to join the girls...

... they really liked this pug nosed dog!

The ducks...
...Cadie liked them too.

This would be Annie's favorite...

...a horse
The girls were a little shy at first, but once they spotted Emma everything was a-okay! They went over and greeted their dear friend and then proceded to walk from one animal to the other to another. They were very interested in all the animals and liked to pet them. All the animals were very good natured and did very well considering they had roughly 200+ kids that came through and visited today!

Looks like so much fun! The girls are scared to death of Hamsters. We took them to a pet store, and let them look through the glass. Well this fat thing of a hamster came up the the glass, slapped his paws in it and opened his mouth. He did this really fast, and the girls FREAKED! lmao
