Worth the wait!!!

I know it has been months since my last post. I have been so busy, had computer issues and lots of excuses but I am back - I promise. I will try to post once a week if we have anything exciting going on.... :)

This week was the Williamson County Livestock Show and Youth Fair. We took the the RV to the fair grounds and made an event of it. Allie showed her little girl goat - Ginger Spice, and placed 5th in her class. This is very impressive considering she has not really been that into working her this year! She placed high enough to make the sale and will auction off Ginger on Saturday. Hopefully she will bring in a bit of money.

Emily & Allie both entered items into the Youth Fair. Allie entered candy and two jewelry items that she made during the summer with the help of Mrs. Carr. She won "Grand Champion" with her candy and one of her jewelry items.

Last year Emily won "Reserve Champion" with her Carrot Cake so she really wanted to take first place with something this year. She entered an item in each of the Cake, Pie and Bread divisions trying to increase her chances of winning. Boy did it work!! - She took "Grand Champion" in both the Cake and Bread divisions and "Reserve Champion" in the Pie division.

So in case you didn't get that = Out of six entries into the fair the girls brought home one 2nd place (Reserve) and four 1st place (Grand) ribbons!!! Pretty good for only the second year.

We are still at the show and have the auction tomorrow so I don't have photos to post just yet - but will add them soon so keep checking back!
