Thursday we stayed home from the fair during the day. Jayden and I still had serpentine practice. I
had to ride all night in an another persons spot. It is so hard and confusing. Practice was over at 9. We took Traveler home then went
back to the fair with Tex to check him in for the night. We got him settled in his stall around 10:30 PM. It
was a late night getting home! We still had chores to do. Friday we were up
early so we could get back to the fair and do chores. We picked up Alex
Spillman on the way and I had the boys along. I felt like a cat chasing a mouse
the entire day. I didn’t sit down much at all between Jayden needing
something to the boys. I had to constantly
keep track of them,. Jake had his phone and did a good job keeping Luke with
him. Sometimes I had to find Luke. He could almost always be found next to
Torrie at the New Coop stand. They also needed money for food and drinks constantly. It was quite
wearing. I watched the nieces show their cattle. Maggie did really well with her hereford and Jaynie won over all with her heifer. Then being the nice mother/aunt that I am, at 3:00 I took all the kids
plus cousins Jaynie, Maggie, and Rylie to check in to our hotel and swim. I had
7 kids with me. The kids had a good time playing games, splashing, and
swimming. I also ordered pizza and pop and fed everyone before heading back to
the fair at 6:30. The kids ran around another couple hours then I had to drive
Alex all the way home and then drive back to the hotel for the night. Jake had the
cot and I slept in the middle of Jayden and Luke in a king bed. I did not sleep
too great. Mark didn’t really want to come up and stayed home and took care of
chores.
