The annual Sheepdog Festival

Yes, you read the title correctly! Kyle's parents told me a few weeks ago they thought it would be fun to go to the sheepdog festival up at soldier hollow. I knew the kids would loved it so we agreed to go. They took Carson with them and left earlier in the morning and I met up with them after Brynnley's nap. Carson loved it! He was so excited to tell me all about it when I met up with them. They watched the jumping dogs (as seen above) sheep herding, duck herding, and much more.
They also had a few games and things for kids. Carson got his arm painted. A green snake. I told him to make a tough guy face! He also was so excited to try the hula hoop. But he could not get it to work. So Grandpa went to show him, he had no success at all. So me being the hula hoop expert that I use to be gave it a whirl (I do hold the record on our Wii fit!) Everyone had a good laugh looking at the pregnant hula hooping mom!
They had a lot of different animals for everyone to look at. This is the albino hedge hog. I've never seen one in person, kind of interesting!

Carson and Brynnley told took a turn riding the horses as well. They both loved it!
Sadly we were not able to stay very long. Brynnley woke up looking a little goopy eyed but I thought she was okay to go. By the time we got up to the festival her eyes were swollen and full of goop. She obviously had caught Carson's pink eye from the previous week. So we stayed for a few things, but she didn't last long. We watched the dog acrobat show, did a few games and then watched the jumping dogs again. It was a lot of fun, I know Carson loved it! He talked about it all night and fell asleep on the way home. It was a lot of fun and a big thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for taking him!
