The American Royal

Gillian went to her first American Royal over the weekend. Grandpa and Grandma Dunn were competing in several horse shows and so we went to see them. It was a lot of fun and only I would be the one to find a giraffe at a country west show! They had a petting zoo with what they called "exotic animals" and they had a zebra, giraffe, kangaroo, and a camel. I was dying laughing when my sister tried to have Zoey feed a goat and the goat took the whole cup of seeds and ran away. The giraffe unfortunately was not letting anyone feed it so my dream of feeding and petting a giraffe is still just a dream. The Budweiser Clydesdale's were there and also a ton of booth to shop at. We did not get to see Glenna or Dad compete because the schedule is so far behind that it would have been hours and with babies that is a long time to wait. But none the less it was still a great time. Zoey was not afraid of any horse and ran right up to them. Everyone was a great sport. Who knows, maybe in a few years we will be there to watch Bean or Zoey compete in their own show. I mean they are getting a pony next summer.
