When we first got on the bus, Alex was terrified
compared to Dennis who is much younger. I totally chalk that up to Dennis being home for over a year and Alex home only a little over a month. But, as soon as I talked to Alex and showed him that Dennis was not scared and his classmates were not scared, he suddenly realized that he had nothing to be afraid of. At one point, he actually felt brave enough to stand up in the seat, to which I had to gently force him to sit back down.
Even though we looked at animals, crafts, tractors, and all of the other fair exhibits--- both boys loved the animals the best. So did I--- especially the pigs. I would so have a pig for a pet if I could.
I got Alex to say, "Fooof," as he pinched his nose closed and made a face. Any new words and sounds we can get him to make the better. He also learned to say pig, cow, moo, and bunny.
Dennis learned to say cow in the cutest little voice.
They both came home, ate lunch, and took nice long naps.

Aww! Looks like they're having a great time!
What a fun field trip!! Fairs are the best!
I so much recognise the look in Alex eyes in my own adopted son when we are in a new situation. But also how good they feel about themselves when they realize that its ok, fun and yet another wonderful new experience in their new life.
Very Cute! I'd so have a pig for a pet if I could! I've wanted one since I was a kid!
Looks like a great time! :)
What cuties your boys are.
When my dad was growing up he had pigs for pets - he said they were better pets than dogs in terms of smartness and affection, and he really loved dogs.
