Purina Farms

We had a fun little Saturday this summer at Purina Farms.  We had never been before so we were excited to check things out. 



We arrived right as the dog show was starting.  They play fun music and bring out several different dogs to do some tricks (catch frisbees, dog runs, jump in the pool, etc.).  Elle had lots of fun watching and clapping her hands along to the music.




After the dog show we walked around to check out some of the other activities.  We got to see some of the dogs in the show as well as some farm animals.   We actually spent a good chunk of our time waiting in line so Elle could get her face painted.  She ended up going with her arm instead of her face and after showing the painter a picture of Olaf she was able to recreate Elle's favorite snowman.




Elle braved going down the big slide...with daddy of course.



Then her lifelong dream :) of riding a pony finally came true!  Seriously, before this Elle had started saying she wanted to ride a horse after seeing them on TV so I was so excited that they had pony rides.  She was bit timid at first but warmed up to her pony very quickly.  We learned his name was Buddy and now every horse she sees is "Buddy".  She could have hung out with him all day.


Starting off a bit nervous...

 
30 seconds later she loved it!



 



Not I just need to convince Eric into buying her a pony for Christmas. :)
