it's that time of year again

That's right sheep and wool festival season is here! I know that not everyone shares my enthusiasm for this sort of thing. But fortunately for me, the pups still think we go to these things for them.
I understand that this works completely in my favor. Right now. Papa has already mentioned that as soon as they aren't excited to go to these festivals, I will be on my own. Which I am fine with, of course. But it's fun to do this stuff as a family, so long as all parties are interested (or can fake it).
I dragged took the boys to Vernon Rockville, Connecticut for the CT Sheep and Wool Festival. It's nice because it's a smaller festival, not too crowded and you feel like you can accomplish something in a day.
This year there were sheep (obviously, and llamas, alpacas, bunnies, goats, and, well, dogs--of the sheep hearding variety, or course). It was a nice way to kick of the season, and get up ready for the BIG show this weekend.

There are more shots in flickr, of course.
