I know, your thinking what? No picture? Nope....I have been just to busy this week. We are 4-H people. If you don't know what that means....well, I will tell you.
It means....we live at the the fair grounds for eight days straight. We eat, sleep and breath the fair.
Life as we know it ceases to exist. For one whole week (and a day) we vanish from ordinary life.
Our kids (the ones that are grown) know where to find us. That would be in.... the Cattle Barn.
Yes, with the sweet smelling, wonderful moo cows. We show cows (and a lamb). We have two wonderful children in 4-H. We have four that have gone through and finished their 10 years.
4-H is a wonderful thing. I personally believe it has made all of our children better people. It has taught them hard work and responsibility. It has also taught them that for one week a year everyone is created equal.
You can take the most popular kids in school and everyone else and mix them together at the fair and you can't tell a difference. Kids helping kids. I doesn't matter who you are, just having
the time of their lives. Fair friends for ever.
My youngest daughter is 18 (sigh), and my youngest son is 9 (sigh again). They both show cattle and sheep. So, here we go again. Another year at the fair. Ready for an awesome week, with great food, wonderful company and lots and lots of laughs! Good luck kids, mom loves you!
See you all in a week!
