Franny's excellent adventure

Friday we joined Auntie Noelle for a very fun morning at the Clackamas County Fair. Franny definitely knew it was going to be a special day when she had her bath and got dressed before breakfast. Deviation from routine is the big give-away in our house! Anticipating a big adventure, she was running around at turbo speed until she finally grew impatient, found her shoes, and brought them to me. Apparently, it was time to go!

We started our day by visiting Auntie's four corgis. For Franny, absolutely nothing can top a dog. However, they weren't quite the same little pups that we had visited on the Fourth of July. They went from being the perfect "Franny-size" puppies to actually being Franny size! A little bit overwhelming, but oh my, what fun!

Next, on to the fair! We didn't have time to see everything, but we did see rabbits, ducks, chickens, roosters, pigs, goats, and sheep. Unquestionably, the favorite was the rabbits and goats. At first, she was calling them dogs (she calls all animals dogs). But then, she realized they were real rabbits, and her little fingers were hopping--doing her rabbit sign--for the duration of our time in the rabbit barn. Oh, what fun that was!

She was not quite as pleased with the pigs:

To be fair, they were very large pigs, not to mention smelling funny, and I would have to say that if this was my first view of a pig, I would feel a little uneasy as well! Yew!

So, we quickly exited the pig barn and moved on to the goats, where she got very excited, and ran up and down the aisles yelling "dog!" There is something about Franny and goats--for some reason, she thinks that they are a very incredible animal.

And that was just about as much excitment as we could take for the day. so, we had a treat and headed home. Franny was asleep within five minutes of leaving. She woke up probably thinking "what a crazy dream!" until she saw her Blues Clues dog Auntie gotten for her at the fair. The two were then inseparable all afternoon. And what a fun adventure it was!
