This was one of the best things we saw at the Puyallup fair. Put a kid no older than six (the youngest we saw was three) and no heavier than sixty pounds on a sheep and let them try to hang on for six seconds. Really cute, and really funny!
I took a ton of pictures of this, and now I’m having a terrible time trying to cull them down to just a few that are post-worthy. They’re just all so cute…and kind of hilariously disturbing, since it’s essentially a series of young children falling on their heads. The kind of thing you know you really shouldn’t laugh at, but….
Anyway, I put together this collage as a sample of what each round looked like.

Cute — I just wonder … what’s up with the Kevlar vests??
Some of the kids take a pretty hard tumble, and there’s the possibility of getting whacked by the sheep’s hooves. Pretty sure it’s a worthy bit of protection for something like this.
