Dreary Days Call for Blogging

Day 246 Home
Lyndsi decorated this cute cupcake cake for the fair - hope she does well! Because it's not as easy as it looks....
 

Day 247 Okanogan County Fairgrounds
Poor Fred wasn't quite ready for the noise of the fairgrounds. I think he thought he'd been abandoned! One night it rained and blew so hard his cage was soaked. Hopefully he took cover in his tube! Fred took a blue ribbon home with him!

Day 248 Okanogan County Fairgrounds
Fred and ....someone! This is Fred's pen for the weekend. He shared with Mylan's pig. Neither one really liked being at the fair so they slept a lot!

Day 249 Okanogan County Fairgrounds
Dylan just completed his fitting and showing. He did great! It was harder than he thought but he was so good! Fred responded well, though he tried to find the nearest exit at any and all opportunities. I was so proud of Dylan for trying this new adventure.

Day 250 Okanogan County Fairgrounds
Dylan walked up into the stands to thank Brian Whitley for buying Fred the Fair Pig. Another proud day for me! Not only did Dylan get into that ring with Fred alone, he showed off  Fred's assets and then made the trek up into the crowded stands to personally thank the representative of the company who paid a lot of money for Fred. Way to go, Dylan!


Day 251 Okanogan County Fairgrounds
Last day of fair! We were watching a bit of horse racing before picking up Lyndsi's crafts and going home. We'd already said our good byes to Fred and the other pigs - that was the hardest part of the day!

Day 252 Home
This is how Lyndsi typically reads! She doesn't last long once her head hits that pillow. I also love her glasses! They look so grown up!

Day 253 Viewmont Drive
Over the weekend we had a torrential downpour that caused all sorts of flash floods and road damage, yard damage, house damage. And we missed it all! It didn't rain that hard at the fairgrounds, where we were watching kids show their animals. So coming home to our road practically washed out was quite a shock! The estimates for repairs ran at about the $300,000 range! Wow!
