County Fair

For nine days we traveled back and forth to the fairgrounds,

to feed and care for our animals,

and also to show them.

The kids did great and my children had a great time too.

Our Nigerian Dwarf doe, America, surprised us and won

first place in her division.

I can't wait to breed her in the coming year.

Little Cookie went to the fair with her sisters.

And we traveled up twice a day, every day, to give her a bottle.

She did just fine.

In fact, I think she grew a lot during the fair.

We, of course, went to every barn and display

and "ooooohed" and "ahhhhhed"

over the chickens, and ducks, and steers, and horses,

and quilts, and photography, and baked goods, and canned goods.

Ranae took her goat Barnabas through the agility course

and did really well this time.

Kevin took his goat Lightning through agility and did very well too.

After it was all over, we rode some rides

had some more fun and

finally packed up and went home.

.....but we couldn't help ourselves.....

(We started planning our next year at the fair on the ride home.)

But for now.....YIPEEEEEE.....we're done.
