The American Royal

Last Saturday, we had tickets to attend the P.B.R. - Professional Bull Riding - at Kemper, but for a month the American Royal has been going on there as well. So we took the kids down early and were able to see many neat things . . . a momma pig who had 1 week old piglets - about 12 of them, a petting zoo w/ exotic animals, the purina show - with great dogs, and of course the cattle show. Isabelle was really intrigued by the judging, thinking they all look the same, so how does the judge pick???? We had a great time, but the enjoyed the P.B.R. much more. . . .

Here the kids are petting one of the sweet dogs in the round pin.

At this show were 19 yr olds showing cattle, the judge was making her final decision!
