Riding in the Parade 2011

One of the things that S gets to do for being the Grand Prize winner is to ride in the parade!

She did so good waving and smiling and interacting with the crowd. Scot got to ride in the car with her. He said she was awesome!

What everyone didn't realize was that she woke up with a fever and a sore throat! She was a trooper though!

Scenes from around the Fair 2011

Recipe Contest - Winners!

S and E both placed in the annual Recipe Contest at our local fair. S won first and E won 3rd place! I am so proud of both of them!

We got a huge surprise when S also won GRAND PRIZE this year! They take all the first place winners and choose a GP from them. How cool is it that this year they chose S!!!!

Pumpkin Decorating Contest

Every year the kids enter the Pumpkin Decorating contest at our local fair. This year, the 3 older kids all won FIRST place in each of their age categories!

E with her Angry Bird. This was her first year competing in the Jr High division!

B painted his pumpkin to look like a football.

S painted a farm scene all the way around the pumpkin.

M was so excited to finally be old enough to enter too! She won Honorable Mention in the K5 division for her pumpkin.
