Me and a baby pig

I’m petting a baby pig.

Baby ducks

The baby duck pond had this funny little ramp with food at the top. The ducks would waddle up there, overbalance, and end up sliding down into the water. It was really cute.

Elvish alpacas

This sign identifies the two alpacas in the pen as Lady Galadriel and Lady Arwen. That cracked us up.

Dude, it's a llama!

Every time I see a llama I immediately think of my favorite Far Side cartoon of “Llamas at Home”: “Llook out, Llarry! It’s the llandllord!” Heh.

Snookums and a cow

Snookums pets a cow.

Wizard Flight

We didn’t bother riding any of the carnival rides, but this one made me laugh. Can you say “copyright violation”?

Giant Slide

I was pleased to note that the Royal Easter Show went with a traditional giant slide instead of the ultra-tacky Titanic Super Slide. Score one for the Aussies.

Amy and the Olsen twins

Apparently one of the hottest selling Show Bags of the year was the “Mary-Kate and Ashley Bag”. It had, like, a purse and a camera and some lip gloss in it. Here they are posing with their little-known older sister, Amy.

Show bag insanity

Snookums stands in front of one of the many Show Bag vendors. I told you it was madness.

That’s it! We were pretty much faired-out by that point so we headed home. I was sad to have missed the Poultry Washing demonstration and the Pig Races, but there’s always next year…
