Post for Ellie & Ben

This post is for Ellie and Ben, as I kept thinking that this experience just wasn't complete without a young child or two to shout out names of animals and sounds they make...so here's a brief tour of animals we saw at the "miracle of birth" building at the State Fair.

Ellie, your job is to tell us what animal it is, and/or if its a mama or a baby.

Ben, your job is to make the sound the animal makes (Ellie can probably help you with that).

(captions are provided to assist parents who may be too sleepy or distracted to properly identify the animals themselves...)

piglets (and part of mama pig)




chicks (under a red heat light, so they're not quite their characteristic yellow)




ducklings (so which is the ugly one?)




horse (mare, standing) and foal





sheep (ewes)



lambs
