The Sheep Shearing Festivsl was on. Maelie was very observant and noticed that the sign said May 21 but we were there earlier in the week. I like that she catches these little things! So I just explained that the sign was for the general public. It was open for schools during the week.
Every half hour or so, there was a sheep shearing demonstration. Here is the sheep before...
Here is the sheep during...
and here he is after.... Much better!
Maelie took a pic of three huge pigs relaxing. They are so cute!
The llama was the sheep guardian during the day. It watched every single person to make sure they weren't there to steal the sheep. I just find it amazing the way animals are. Nature just made them perfect for their purpose!
The kids spent a bit of time in the play area. The girls didn't go in the big structure as it was very crowded. Maelie is not one to put herself in the face of danger!
One workshop along the way was to brush the wool, I don't remember the term they used for it. Basically once the kids were done taking all the knots out , the wool was pretty cute and fluffy.
We went to watch some dog agility performances. I thought this picture of two of the boys so cute.
Maelie was in control of her camera for most of the trip so I ended up with tons of pics of her with some friends :) so cute! She would get people to take pics of them. I love this age! It's so sweet! They are groeing up yet they are still so young and innocent.
Even if we had been to the museum before, we had a wonderful time! The kids were well behaved and the weather cooperated!
