These aren't really in order of event. So, I will tell you how the day started. The night before I stayed up till 4 AM making cake, bread, muffins, and cookies for the county fair. Our county fairs are smaller here and then our state fair is huge. Anyway I decided I really wanted to enter some stuff into the fair so that maybe I could win a little money (very little, like $10), and maybe my stuff would win and go to the state fair. So, I woke up took my stuff to the fair, took some cookies to the church for a funeral, and then we went to the lake for a couple of hours. We haven't had much time to go to the lake this year but every time we go Natalia loves Laying in the sand.
Jaden is usually making new friends at the lake. He is a social butterfly. Then, after the lake we went home took a couple of naps, went back to the fair to see how the judging went. When I looked at the display case this is what I saw!!!!!! Judges choice on my cake, judges choice on my cookies and everything else 1st place!!!!!!! I couldn't be happier. It was so much fun and had a blast. It will deffiently be something I do every year. Hopefully it will help the fair to. Our fair is a little wimpy because it's just contests and animals. Not many people go to look at it and the baking section lacks on entries. I am excited for the challenge to make another creative cake next year but i hope other people will look at it and want to do the same instead of the plain old traditional stuff. My cake was dark chocolate with blackberry filling, cookies were chocolate marshmallow, muffins: blackberry cream, bread: Challah bread, and then I entered some hand painted suckers.
Natalia got to hold a bunny. She was very upset when I told her it was time to put it back.
After the fair we went to Fanny's for some hot dog roasting. Thanks to Caleb Jaden is obsessed with fire. :) After that our veterinarian office expanded and so they had an open house with food, tours, petting zoo, and horse rides. As you can see my children loved the horse ride. In fact Natalia screamed when I took her off.
That would be a chicken. Yes petting a chicken Nathan. It was very tame.
And of course more bunnies. I think I know what to get her for a birthday present this year. We will see though. Tyson might just kill me if I get a bunny.
