Sunday Nov 13th We gathered AR and Athena up and drove 3 hours to Crete, IL where the Critter Corral hosted their 12th annual open house. Many adoptable piggies there and lots of fun and games for piggies and even a piggie costume contest!
When we first arrived we looked for Debbie from the storybook piggies on the digest and found her. a AR had his picture taken with Debbie(storybook piggies) and Jean(holding AR). Debbie was very happy to finally meet AR in person!
Next AR wanted to look around and talk with some of the piggies up for adoption. SO many piggies needing homes.
Then AR watched while Athena got her pigture done by Ilana Ostrar the most talented artist ever!
Athena entered two contest and she won first place in the cutest lips! and Third place in the costumes contest. AR was very proud of her! Judges looking at her "Lips" and also judging her costume.
There were even piggies dressed up at turkeys! and even a elf!
There were many things to buy that the money went for the Critter Corral. Lots of people that loved piggies as much as we did. AR was glad that many piggies got adopted out that day. The misfits did not bring any new ones home.
AR liked the costume contest the best. HE thought the jail bird piggies was so cute! And the beaver pig was clever! A great day for all.
Long day in car but so well worth it.
Funny how you get a picture in your mind of what people look like. I imagined Jean and Andy as much older white- or gray-haired grandparents. I know you have mentioned grown children. I would have not imagined you so young! =)
