Stanislaus County Fair

Every year for the past few years the girls have entered items to show in the fair.  It gives them a little something to do in the summer time, and it also gives them a free ticket into the fair.  This year Mikayla entered 3 items, and Ashlee entered a couple drawings she did in Art class at school.  We decided to not do any cakes this year.  Which probably was a blessing in disguise, the items had to be to the fair the week after we moved, and there would not have been any time to decorate plus with the warm temps we have been having, the cakes probably would have been one big pile of mush.  The girls got 1st and 2nd place on everything they entered.  Ashlee received a Best of Show as well.

 The funnest part of the fair this year was the science exhibit.  The girls enjoyed the large bubble pot.  They tried to put bubbles around each other.

Mikayla has had a huge fascination with horses ever since she broke her foot in March.  She wanted to see the horses at the fair.
