Sad but true

Well the fair is over, and the kids are done showing until March. Carlee is sad to see the season come to an end. Carlee and Tanner did very well showing this week. I was very proud of them. Carlee showed two heifers and then one steer. Carlee got 1st in her class with both heifers, and won Grand Champion Angus Heifer with her big heifer named Sugar. She received Reserve Grand Champion Heifer overall the heifer there with Sugar. Carlee was very excited about that!!! Carlee showed Moses her steer and got 2nd in her class, and then was placed 5th overall in the steer show. She seemed pleased with that. When she took him out to sale him she had him all dolled up with glitter and they shined together in the show ring. Tanner got to show 1 heifer, 1 steer, and a bucket calf. Tanner got 2nd in his class with his heifer (which was behind Carlee) . Carlee let him show Sugar in the Champion Angus drive, so he thought he was pretty big stuff. It was pretty funny. Tanner's steer was 3rd in his class and recieved 6th overall in the steer show. He was very happy, actually Bert and I decided he didn't care where he placed as long as he got some money. Eventually he will figure it out and want the placing instead of the money. It seemed that the fair was a success for the kids and they seemed to have fun riding the rides as well. I love to set and watch the kids at the fair in the livestock barn. There is such a bond there between all the kids. The boys would play football any chance they had while there wasn't anything going on in the show ring. Of course rolling around in the saw dust chips is so much fun to the boys. It is really fun for the mom that gets to wash it all out too. The girls just get to set around and visit. There is so much hard work with the livestock it is just so impressive getting to watch these children grow up, and know that they are going to be very hard workers. I am working on getting pictures downloaded, so you will soon get to be bored with looking at pictures with the kids showing their animals.
