The Denver Stock Show

On a whim we decided to head to the Stock Show since it was a free day for all. That probably saves our family about $100 so, we'll take what we can get. The weather couldn't be more perfect for a stroll outside.

In the education hall we got to see some 4-H bunnies that looked like they might need to go on Mrs. Obama's get fit plan or perhaps they were just really healthy.

Ponies had a chance to refuel before giving out more rides to all the children.

These chickens made me yearn even more for a few acres so, we can raise chickens and have a massive garden.

David met a new friend in the petting zoo area.

This adorable llama kept trampling over children that were in his way. It was great entertainment to watch him.

We also checked out some prize winning cattle. Don't mess with these guys.

These are Highland cattle. I guess they enjoy having a long furry mane. 

These bulls were totally being judged. It was like a beauty pageant except that the criticisms were made public and the bulls were ok with it.

I bet you've never seen a bull as shiny as this one, have you?

Of course you can't visit the fair or stock show without eating funnel cakes, even if it is with a fork. ;)

We were so tempted by these mouth-watering ribs but, we didn't give in to the amazing aroma that filled the air. Instead, I came home and smoked some ribs the next day.
