The County Fair!

It's that time of year again!  The county fair started this week and the kids are always excited about that!  It's kind of sad for the girls though,  because it also means a close of another summer vacation from school.  We like to start our homeschooling the week after the fair,  so they know that next week another school year will begin.  So we are trying to make the most of the fair week.  Below are a few pictures that I have taken so far of our entries and ribbons.  We also went to the Figure 8 racing last night.  That was a real red-neck entertainment. :) There were 'suped-up' jeeps and trucks that raced around these cones and jumped little humps of dirt.  It wasn't the most exciting thing that we have seen but it was fun for my kids to be there with their cousins.  Later in the week, my son will be showing his cows in the holstein show so I will try to post a few pictures on Friday.  It's fun to spend time with our kids and make happy memories

 with our "farm family!"

See these petunias that Faith won first place in the fair?  These petunia plants were totally destroyed by the hail when we had our second tornado.  Out of about 7 or 8 entries they won first place! Is that a miracle or what?  We serve a wonderful God!
