Fair


Well, it was an extremely hot week! I only brought my camera the first day and the day I did a goat show! I'll put more photos up soon! I unfortunately missed a day that only  my sister went to feed the goats. I stayed home to make cookies for a contest the next day(Which I got 2nd in by the way ; )  ) But the day I missed was the day all the horses and riders got into costumes! And my sister didn't bring her camera! Oh,well!
we sold 2 goats in which I'm happy there gone,so we can start getting some barn space! I don't mean that in a mean way,but since you've had 7 baby goats in 2 months and your barn is kind of crowded and your sister plans to breed in the fall....... you get the idea! (at least I hope you do ; p )
So for 4-H I got 1st in Showmanship and 4th in Dairy goats! In open class showmanship I did horrible since its based on your age Not experience! The judge placed 3 people and the other 3 (one of which was me) all got second!  But here are some photos..(I'll post more at the end of the week..I'm going to try to stay of the computer for a few days)






This horse was wonderful and beautiful! Her head kept in the perfect position pretty much the whole entire time!A Friend waiting her turn to ride!In the photo contest I saw this cool photo! I love the bird shadow. Don't you? They choose these photos horribly. The bad ones got good places and the good photos (like the one  above) got nothing!

Someone I know did like 4 pretty paintings(They all were different from each other) But I liked this one!


Texas longhorn!
My sisters regency dress actually got 1st,but the person who put the ribbons on  didn't read the placing list they put up I guess!
I loved this cute painting. I wish I could paint like this!
This cute quilt would go perfectly in someones sewing room as a wall quilt!
I saw this horse out of the corner of my eye while watching my friends ride. So of course I snapped a picture not realizing until right now that his tongue was hanging out!
2 of the other dresses my sister made! The adult size one they had it turned backwards! (which was another mistake they did on a few dresses.Which is funny cause its extremely easy to tell the front from the back)
