It's fair time...



Another year at the Navajo County Fair and this is what we did... HAD LOTS OF FUN!!!!!
This year was so fun, we all spent plenty of time at the fair. The kids watched the 4h auction, rode rides with cousins, ate cotton candy (Blake's favorite), checked out their projects, raced the race cars, rode the train, watched the demolition derby and more.... Here is a little more detailed info on each kid...
Bryson: Well his 4-H steer ended up being a little to mean to show at the fair - so this year we just supported the other 4H kids and their animals. Bryson was able to sell his steer to a friend of ours from Winslow to re coop his money and make a little. He entered a couple of drawings and took first places on them. He has a talent for drawing. He rode lots of rides, but didn't like the sick feeling he got after getting off. I was able to go into his school class this year and help them make some fair projects - they divided the class into groups of 4 and make something from: cardboard and paper, plastic, metal, and duct tape. They all place so high. Bryson's group had made the log cabin out of cardboard and paper - they took 1st place and even got Best of Show! He got to go to the Fair and do a scavenger hunt with his entire 6th grade class. They won $65.00 and will use the money for a class party! Good job Bryson!

Kaylee: She entered several drawings and paintings and took first and second place on them - they looked really cool. My favorite one she entered was an abstract painting that she made by blowing paint out of straws. She also made a bracelet - which took first place and got Best of Class. She is really talented on creating things like that! If we had time she would enter 1,0000000 things in the fair! I also went into her 4th grade class and helped them make scarecrows. We divided into two groups - the boys made a "Old west Outlaw" which took 2nd and the girls made an "I love the USA" scarecrow out of nontraditional things - like pvc pipe and milk jugs - they took first place. They will also use their money for a party! Way to go Kaylee! Kaylee loved the fair rides - nothing scares her and she doesn't get sick - she was CRAZY!

Blake: He entered several abstract paintings and earned 1st, 2nd and third place ribbons on them (he calls them tags). He also entered flowers, tomatoes and pigeons. He earned LOTS of tags - several blue, red and 1 white! He was so excited. He loved going on the rides and eating cotton candy - good thing he had some birthday money to help buy it!
Kaci: Kaci is the best little girl in the world and can handle just about ANYTHING! She just hung out where ever we were and was HAPPY. She even went to the rodeo on Saturday night with us. It was our date night so we went and had a fair food dinner, twister drinks (yummy), and watched the rodeo with Tonya and Kevin. It was a great night!
Here are a few fun pictures in no particular order...

The "EXPERIENCE" was a CRAZY WILD RIDE!
Love this picture...taken after the "EXPERIENCE" Bryson and Kadin were actually a little sick - the other two just posed for the picture. Luckily they never up chucked - just felt like it.


This was Dillan Robinson's Demolition car - he brought it by the house for our kids to see. It didn't look quite the same after the contest!
MMM MMM Good - Cotton Candy is his favorite!
All three kids on the slide. I even took Kaci down once - she loved it!
