Bay City Pig Gig!

Where else can you find a Pig Gig? Gotta love Michigan! We went to Bay City last weekend, about 15 min. from our house for the annual Pig Gig...it's a fund raiser for cancer as well. It was also pretty much a huge beer fest. It was still a lot of fun though because they had a live band "Gin Blossoms" I had never heard of them, but I knew some of their songs like "Hey Jealousy" old school but tons of fun. They had different BBQ tents to get pulled pork sandwiches, ribs, etc. and lemonade stands and lots of fun things for the kids. Dylan loved listening to and dancing to the band music, here he is watching them from the back of the crazy crowd. We put him down on the ground and he kept clapping and cheering and bouncing his legs in time to the music, it was so cute. We're happy he loves music so much. After the music we hit up the "kid" area where Rick and several others of the guys we were with seriously each paid 5 stinkin dollars to race in the bounce house maze race thing. They were the only ones above the age of 12 in line and got so into it that they were seriously going to keep paying the ridiculous fee until all four of them had battled each other for the overall champ. Fortunately for all us ladies standing by guarding the wallets the guy informed them that the 5 bucks gave them 3 trips through...so...they got to have their competition. I know this pic is blurry but you had to see how into it they got, Im sure the guy really appreciated them jumping off the slide thing and crashing down at the bottom. Rick would want you to know that although it looks like he was behind in this pic he actually waited at the top for him to catch up for the pic.

They had this really cute petting area where Dylan just LOVED his first real encounter with animals. He was laughing SO loud and SO hysterically, I was sad to not get it on film because we could have made money off Americas funniest home videos or something. He loved it every time they came up to him and since they thought he had food he was usually surrounded by them and they would stick their heads thru the bars and he'd have 4-5 of them smelling him at once. He was in heaven.
