Washington County Fair

Colton and I went to the Washington County Fair this morning with Uncle Brad, Auntie Marissa and Pop Pop! It was way too hot to be going anywhere but I had already promised Colton we would go see Pig Races so away we went. We got to the fair at about 10:30 (it was already about 80 degrees at this time). We started by walking through the exhibit buildings where Colton built a bird house at the Home Depot Kids Workshop and then it was off to the animal barns! Colton loves petting all the farm animals. Then after some Hawaiian Shaved Ice it was time for a Camel Ride, Colton thought he was a big shot riding it all by himself. Then we headed over the Llama Competitions (my favorite)! If you have never seen a Llama jump through a Hula Hoop you need to check it out, interesting to say the least! Next was on to lunch - Pronto Pups and Cheese Burgers and then we went to get our seats for the pig races. It was now 12:30 and well into the 90's and so humid we were all dripping. The pig races were totally worth the heat but once they were over we decided we had had enough of this heatwave and headed back home where Colton and I both took nice long naps in the comfort of our air conditioning!!

Also just had to post a few pictures from our garden which is doing awesome again this year. The first picture is of everything we picked on Thursday night! And when I went out there today just to check and see if anything else was ready I was shocked! The second picture shows what I came back in the house with this afternoon!! Looks like Frankie will be making a nice big batch of Salsa this week! We also have several Cantelop growing and two Summer Squash which seem to coming along quite nicely. Gotta love summer and growing your own veggies!
