County Fair

 We've been busy creating for the county fair!

Andrew's artwork:  Sunset on the water - watercolor

Obstacle Course - computer art

Hobbit hole - charcoal drawing

 Teresa's artwork:  Fishes, hearts, & T's - watercolor

Peeking out the window - colored pencil

Nice & mean contest - crayon

 Rebecca's artwork:  Happy Robot - crayon

Robin's nest - acrylic painting

Misty rise - colored pencil

Catching a butterfly - computer art

 Andrew earned a 1st place champion ribbon on his charcoal drawing!  He's beyond giddy.  Don't be surprised if you see him wearing it for the next month!  :P

 Rebecca earned a 1st place ribbon on her computer art & Andrew a 3rd place ribbon.

 Teresa constructed this 8 car duplo train all by herself using every little person we own & earned a 1st place ribbon, too!

 Rebecca earned a 4th place on her colored pencil drawing... which was actually my favorite of her work.  There was nothing "misty" about it, but she really liked that as the title. 

 Sarah earned a blue ribbon for sitting in the stroller & being uber-cute.

 After the thrill of their earnings, the kids barely even needed rides, but we had some free ones so we couldn't pass it up.  Andrew once again wanted to do the big slide & Rebecca decided she was brave enough to try it, too.  Right before I took this shot, she realized she might have been wrong.  ;)  She bailed into the 2nd slide once she hit the checkerboard.

 Riding the ponies with Dad

 Teresa was completely giddy with each ride.  I can still hear her giggling on this one!

We hit the exotic petting zoo on the way back to the van.  Had to get a picture of our zebra girl with a real zebra.
