September 3
Matt gets tickets to this event from work, and it has become a new tradition to go and see the sheep dogs. The Barrett's came with us this year, and Mike and Wendy and the girls met up with us for a bit too. We started by watching the dogs run the sheep. It's supposed to be quiet and it is a general rule that you root for the dogs, not the sheep, and Emilyn kept shouting, "Go sheepies, go sheepies.!" Even the serious people around us couldn't help but smile at her. She was so proud, she didn't know why we were shhhing her! We also spent some time at the little petting zoo area, and then got lunch and waited to enjoy our favorite little unique animal show. They let the kids see some of the animals and pet and hold them at the end. The little, tiny turtle and the hedgehog were highlights for Matisyn. Emilyn loved the giant turtle and milking the pretend cow! Our outing ended abruptly when Matisyn had a meltdown over something inconsequential and Matt had to carry her kicking and screaming to the car. He was less than pleased. I'm glad these tantrums are not as often anymore, and hope we will avoid the huge ones with Emilyn. It didn't end well, but it was a great day just the same!
