Fair Fun

We've visited the Boone County Fair a few times, but this was the girls' first time to participate. Justin showed cattle at the fair growing up, so the swine show was a first for everyone!

Thursday, the Middles participated in the stuffed animal show put on by the Clover Kids they were in this spring.

 

 

 

Friday, pigs were rinsed....

 

The Littles tried mutton busting. 

 

Whitney saw a 4H photography project with the heart and was recreating it the rest of the night. 

Today, was show time!!!  Hannah got second place in her class, and was so happy to finally be in the ring with Asia. 

 I decided I better finally get in with Asia too!!

Life is Good at the Fair...especially when showing pigs!

Soccer, Swimming and Swine!

 

This was a busy week with soccer camp for all 4 girls(3 different time slots!), pig walking to get ready for the fair and swimming at the city pool. 

 

Only Hannah and Whitney went pigging while the Middles were at camp. 

 

Whit loves her sprayer!

 

 

After her hour of camp we would go walk and wash each day

 

 

 

The baby dolls needed to ride to the pool

 

Whitney and Morgan joined the other girls in the deep water after passing their swimming test. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ended the day with a treat....
