Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to the Fair We Go!


It's Spring Youth Fair time here in southwest Washington! The kids have been anxiously awaiting this event for quite some time!

This year Kyle, Valerie, Victoria and Caroline decided to decorate cakes to enter. (This is the order they are shown in the picture. If you click on the picture, it should increase in size so you can see them better!)

Also, Lydia made cranberry chip scones, and Valerie made pumpkin apple bread to enter.

The girls were also excited to enter their quilts, a skirt and six photographs.

Saturday, Victoria and Caroline will be participating in the "Fit and Show" competition with their new goat kids.

We will be camping out at the fairgrounds over the weekend, which next to riding on the little rides is by far Timothy's favorite part!

Stay tuned . . . we're sure to post pictures of the big event next week!

Wow! Those cakes are amazing! But I think there's a problem with them... who would ever want to EAT a beautiful cake like any of those? They are ART...not just a tasty treat.

You all are amazing too! Very creative and so talented. Thanks for sharing pictures of all the neat things you are doing.

Have fun at the fair! I'm sure you will all do GREAT!

With much love,
Aunt Kelley

Hi Aunt Kelley!

Thanks for your encouraging comments! We love it!

Yes, it would be hard to eat the cakes after all the work that went into them! AND . . . we got a call from the fair volunteers yesterday, that when Caroline's cake (the cowgirl boot)was being moved into the showcase, they accidentally dropped it!!!! OOPS! So, we probably wouldn't want to eat THAT one anyway! :(

We are so grateful for your love and support!

We love you,

Lydia, Kyle, Caroline, Valerie, and Victoria
