The County Fair Begins

Today begins the Webster County fair 2013. We took Jayden’s friend Hannah with us. This is her first year in 4-H and she is still learning the ropes. She didn’t have any projects prepared, so we printed up a photo she took and matted it for her. We also took the boys with us and they met up with my mom to stay with her a couple nights. Uncle Wade came with the camper and we got it settled in for the week. Thanks to my brother letting us use his camper, it makes the fair bearable for me. Judging for our club didn’t start until after lunch, so we didn’t feel rushed. The girls started with photography.

Jayden got 3 of her 6 photos held back for state fair consideration. Hannah did too and she was so happy. I am glad she did well and hopefully will want to do it again next year. Jayden went on and got state fair for her project on “How to Display the American flag”. It was such a fitting project with her carrying the American flag for youth rodeos. She did the research and put the information on a big display.

She also got state fair on her display on foods that can poison your dog. That made for a great fair. She knows she gets to go to the parade of champions dinner. It was dreadful hot and humid, so we headed home around 3 and stayed in the a/c. It was 92 and high humidity, but that didn’t stop Mark from going up to roping practice. He was thrilled that he and his horse did so well, so I guess that makes it worth it to him.

Volleyball

Jake went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s Volleyball game in Coon Rapids. They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them. Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
