Sheep Shearing

This Saturday we headed over to Bellevue for the annual Sheep Shearing Festival at Kesley Creek Park. The weather was a little threatening, but luckily we stayed dry. We had never been to the event and it turned out to be more popular than I expected. There were several things to do, but there were also pretty long lines. We did managed to see a couple sheep shorn (sorry, no pictures), we saw some demonstrations on wool,
Matthew (with a lot of help from Jon) made a wool ball (red, of course), and went for a tractor ride.
Seth wasn't feeling the greatest, so he spent the majority of the festival like this:
He did perk up a little bit when he remembered he brought his new sunglasses.
Overall, it turned out to be a fun time. Maybe next year we'll have more luck with shorter lines.
