Fort Worth Stockshow and Rodeo

Every year we go to the Fort Worth Stockshow and Rodeo as a family. We walk through the barns so that the kids can see the animals and then we head to the Rodeo. Below are some highlights of the night...

This goat really wanted Matt to pet him. I found out that they put the muzzles on the goats so that they won't chew the shavings on the floor or chew up their blankets before they are shown. If they eat that stuff they will get really bloated and just look fat. So it's not to be mean it helps them stay healthy ;)

Below is a Mommy Pig and her pigglets. Doesn't she look miserable!!?? It took her at least a minute to lay down on the ground so that she could nurse her little ones.

Holy cow, that pig looks awful! Isn't the rodeo fun though?!

Poor pig is engorged! She needs a breast pump to make life a little easier.

I like that Sarah said "holy cow" in reference to the pig. :)

Next year you can take Morgan/Parker to the stockshow!

I was thinking the same thing as Robyn...like it's not bad enough to have 2 engorged boobs!
