County Fair

We went to the county fair this morning with our homeschool group. There was so much to do. We checked out the exhibits and farm animals (there were some bunnies for sale that we wanted to bring home). There was also a petting zoo and a show by Farmer John and his dog, Smudge, his goat, Goofy and a baby pig. Farmer John kept us laughing. We were excited to check out the exhibits since we had entered a couple of contests.

Our scarecrow took home 3rd place (thanks to Laura for helping me out - I could not have done it without you and your problem solving mind!) As you can see we went with the Disney theme, wonder where we got that idea from? Funny thing is both Anna Gracen and I came up with the thought at the same time. Wooten won 1st place in his age group for the Lego competition.
That boy has the mind of an engineer. Isn't this cool? I'll be sure to take some better pictures of it when we get it home. He has already started working on another Lego creation.
Anna Gracen won 1st place for her clay fruit basket. She is so crafty!
That fruit looks good enough to eat. I love the brown spots on the banana - makes it look real.

  2. Great job guys!!!! Wooten can be the engineer and Anna Gracen can be the decorator.
    Glad that you had fun.
    Love you all,
    Nana

    Wooten,
    I knew that you were buying all those legos for something special. Just think, with your prize money you can buy more. do we need to plan another trip to Downtown Disney?
