Cloverdale Fair and Rodeo

I am so grateful it's Monday night, at the end of a three-day weekend, with the girls snug in their beds. I finally have a few minutes to post a picture-filled update.

Every year our 4-H club sets up and mans a club display at this 3-day fair. We started this year on Wednesday evening, when Sean, Dylan, and I took their educational displays and set them up for a competition. Sean's display was on how to make great compost; Dylan's was on the Hubble telescope. Lee, do you remember that mail message you sent us many months ago with those awesome Hubble photos? Well, that was in the inspiration behind this display.

For the competition, Sean's placed 3rd, earning him $15. Dylan's got 7th, which didn't come with any prize money, unfortunately.

On Sunday we spent a good part of our day at the fair staffing our booth. Sean worked in the morning, and then got invited over to another member's home for dinner and the Shrek 3 movie. Score! Dylan and Nathan worked the last shift of the evening. These photos are the boys at the booth.

Don had both girls all day Sunday and he was pretty tired when I got home!
