I've Been One Busy Pig!

I guess time flies when you are having fun - and I sure have been having a lot of fun lately! But that means I've been a bit behind on keeping up the blog, so here goes...

First on the list of fun things I've been up to lately is the great train adventure that Zach and I went on along with Ellie and mommy and daddy. We went to the train park in Scottsdale, and they have a pretty cool train ride you can go on. Well, it was cool except for the LOUD train whistle (daddy had to cover Zach's ears and Zach covered mine) and the tunnel was a bit dark and long. I say they need a bunch of night lights in there. And a pizza stop. They really could use a pizza stop.

Next on the list of fun was going to Schnepf Farms in Queen Creek to enjoy the fall festival they were having. I got to do a lot of fun things with Zach like playing on a wooden train, going through the "pum-keen" (I love the way Ellie says pumpkin!) patch, and seeing animals in the petting zoo they had. I got to say hi to the pigs! I asked them what was up with the straw diet - I mean they could at least put the straw on a pizza! They didn't seem to know what a pizza was, then they made some rude comments about city pigs, so I ended up leaving to go see the goats.






Hopefully the head farmer in charge (or any of the other Schnepf farmers) didn't notice that it was me who left this fine piece of folksy festival sign-age for everyone to chuckle about! I'm still snorting and doing a happy dance over my cleverness on that one! This city pig showed them!






And speaking of animals, I got to go to the zoo with the family. I have to say that I was a bit nervous that perhaps a few of the animals there may have thought that I would make a nice snack. Luckily my buddy Zach protected me so that I could snack on pizza later!
