Denver Stock Show

It was a fun filled day down at the Denver Western Stock Show today. This was our first time going since being here. We always think of going to the it and the many rodeos, but dont ever seem to make it out. So this year we did and Dakota enjoyed it. We asked him what he wanted to see and he said the pigs. So we set out to find them after checking a few things out.


We found the horses and many empty stalls that Dakota had fun with. And a lot of cows of course being the stock show, and then we found...
The lamas and alpacas, I guess we missed the pigs day because we were in the right room but no pigs. So instead we checked out the alpacas and Dakota had fun.



He enjoyed checking out the animals as long as they remained behind the bars. However the lady taking care of this alpaca offered to let him get a closer look.

As soon as we got close for a picture Dakota closed his eyes until we were at what he deemed a safe distance again. Fun stuff, so we continued to check out the various on goings except for ironically the children events due to extreme high traffic in thoses areas. The petting zoo looked like a Disneyland ride in the peak of summer. So although we might of found a pig there we gave up on that option.

He must of had fun though cause he went right to sleep on the ride home and stayed asleep for two hours after getting home.

You're looking so pretty in that first picture of the three of you, and how precious is the one of Dakota sleeping on the couch all curled up?! Sounds like a fun time, seeing alpacas always makes me giggle. :)

How fun! I've never been to a rodeo, but I have been to a demolition derby. Both interesting experiences, I'm sure.
