Fair!



The stands were full of love for us and it was so nice and so early in the morning. 
Seems we didn't know how it would go we spent lots of time waiting but everyone stayed with us and it was so much help and comfort. We will know better next year to send out a message that morning when we hear when they will show. 


Fair was amazing and exhausting!
We had so much love from so many friends and family. 
We saw all the animals, ate all the food, pie eating contest, greased watermelon contest, learned and grew LOTS, who knows what else.....BUT we will do it again next year with FOUR 4hers. 
Cecily will be the only pit crew next year! 


Maddie and Nephi in the stands - Dale family came to watch the goats before the horse show. Maddie took home the official horse and pony buckle! That is a HUGE deal! 

Wallace family came to see us!

One night we walked around with the Askeroth family to see all the animals. 

Ashby girls walked around with us one night too. 

Emma and Claire with Clairana 

Practicing. 

Pappy came and stayed the day with us! Hanging out with a sore butt on the bleachers. With crazy little people too!


Pretty much sums up the waiting line to show - wrestling a goat and trying to smile! 

Levi holding Nephi while I was with C with Starburst. We learned early on that if he could not see her he would jump his pen without any trouble. So when C went up to show Levi would have to take Eclipse to watch. 

Heading In! 


Nephi got 1st place!

Clairana got 3rd place!

Washing and Shaving before we left. We have learned so much this year!

FIRST Night! Pen Set Up


On our Way to Check In! 
This pretty much sums up our emotions. 

Our homeschooling friends won champion in the rabbit barn. 

Levi and I surprised the kids with belt buckles before they showed. 

Clairana with Starburst - mid jump.
