The Riverside County Fair - Babies!

Okay, this post just had to be...it's the reason to have a fair in February. The babies! There were so many babies at the fair, these were our favorites. Above, 3 day old kid. There were a ton in this pen, all tiny little guys. But this one was off in the corner alone and was just so cute.
Newborn baby duckling. Moo tried SO HARD to pet him, but he was just too quick.
This kid was born literally two hours before we saw him. He was still shaky on his feet and that thing hanging down at his belly is his umbilical cord! If there weren't so many people around and the Hubs wasn't there, I would have put this pair under my arm and proceeded to the nearest exit.
This mama had fifteen piglets four days ago (aren't they huge?!?!) and the man with them said that they are bottle feeding 5 of them because they were rather small and he was afraid that they wouldn't survive if they had to compete with the bigger guys for milk. Again, I would have gladly smuggled some of them out, but alas...too many witnesses.
