This weekend Britton and I did quite a few fun activities. We went to the Weld County Fair to see the chickens and other livestock. There were some bantam chickens that were about the size of robins. They even had what looked like little robin-eggs. We saw chickens that were nothing but fuzz and huge turkeys.

How many turkeys do you see?

Interesting looking chickens and tiny egg

Then we saw the cutest thing: a baby pygmy goat. Pygmy goats are smaller than most mid-sized dogs and so the baby was only about 6 or 8 inches off the ground. I have decided that if we have goats in Puerto Rico, they  will be of the pygmy variety so that they can’t jump as high (in addition to the cute factor!).

The fair also had a car show which I thought was an interesting juxtaposition of rural and urban, but that is kind of what Greeley is -a fairly large city in a largely agricultural county.

This weekend we also went over to our friends’ house and played Rockband. On Sunday we visited Britton’s family and had an outdoor bbq. The weather was perfect and so I went with my niece and nephew, Schnoodle and Britton’s parent’s dog for a long walk.

Our nephew wanted us to put a picture of him on this blog dressed up in his full get-up: a terrorist/foreign soldier. Isnt’ it interesting what kids like to play dress up as. Quite the sign of the times…Still, he looked pretty close. I think he looks like he could be an extra in a Cuban revolution movie!
