Sacto or Bust

We made a pit stop at Chloe's for pecan pancakes before heading to Sacramento to see Shirley & Presley. It was HOT in Sacramento (duh). Our first stop was Raging Waters. We splashed around for a while in the cold water and floated around the tubing river. It might be the best ten bucks I have ever spent. I would need a season pass to that place if I lived there.
Then it was time to meet Aimee and Gio at the State Fair. We headed to the petting zoo, which was unlike any other petting zoo I have ever been to. There were deer, llamas, pigs, rabbits. Juliet got nipped by a chicken. Good times. It was a little overwhelming because there were so many animals.

Defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty...


After a dousing with hand sanitizer, we went over to the "milk a cow or goat" exhibit. Juliet tried to eat the corn in the un-sandbox.
Presley milked the cow:

Then Gio had a turn and got a good squirt!:

Shortly after the milking, things got weird. I took a picture of these cows:
Evidently, my choice of subjects was an invitation for this creepy guy to start talking to me about my interest in cows (just thought the kissing cows might be cute for the blog), and about his family's farm in Indiana. He went on and on and I finally caught up with Shirley and Aimee and was able to get rid of him. About half an hour later, Aimee spots "my boyfriend" in handcuffs being carted away by the police. I am pretty careful in places like that about not leaving my valuables accessible, but I definitely did a once-over after I saw that!

OK, Riley and I want to go to Raging Waters with you guys. As long as you can keep the weirdos at bay...
