We had a great day today as a family. The UC Davis campus was holding their annual Picnic Day. The day starts off with a huge parade the goes through the campus and the town, then every building or department hosts some kind of demonstration. All the clubs on the campus also put up booths or sell food. The entire campus is just hopping with people having fun. Eric and I always make sure that we attend this day and this year was extra special because we were able to take Tyler with us and he had a blast. He kept waving his hands and screeching with joy at all the people looking at him and so many people just adored him. I am so thankful to have such a happy baby.
Our day consisted of seeing at cows, different breeds of dogs, watching sheep dogs herd sheep, and watching dogs doing Frisbee tricks. There are so many things to see, but it is impossible to see it all in one day so we had to pick what we wanted to see the most. It almost like Disneyland, but with animals and the whole education theme. The best part of the day was when we saw the horse on the treadmill. Eric had a class where he saw this so he was really excited to share this with Ty and I . It was pretty neat and at times intense, especially when the horse was galloping really fast. You just hoped he would not fall, but the horse loves to run and when they slowed down the treadmill, he stomped his feet and snorted because he wanted to go faster. The disappointment for us was when we missed the Dachshund races. This is our favorite event every year because these little weener dogs are so cute, but the campus is so large and we were too slow getting there. I have been getting used to this now that we have a child and everything takes twice as long to accomplish.

Overall, we had a wonderful day and Tyler wore himself out before we reached our car.
