Snapshots: To the Fair and Beyond

Poppy finished her pinata for her friend's birthday, and A. actually brought home some candy for it when he returned from his overnight trip. That means I didn't have to use any of the good suggestions all y'all gave me (thank you!).  


This was apparently a very strong pinata and required some intense whacking to break. Maybe two layers would have been better than three.

Our trip the state fair was very exciting. 


Floppy-eared rabbit.


Sea lions.


An impressive candy store.


A roller coaster.


And of course, the reason we were there: livestock judging. I think it's funny they still use Scantron sheets for this.

I did manage some flowers this week. There are a few sunflowers on the dining room table, and for the altar tomorrow . . .


A bit moody, thanks to the rainstorm that darkened my living room when I was taking this photo.

There you have it! My life, snapshotted.

Did the kids bring their own money to spend on treats? Thr candy store would be hard to resist!

They did, although they mostly spent it on ice cream. Only one bought candy.

I've been very amused that many of the FFA CDEs still use Scantron forms also. — Karen.

As a miniature lop rabbit owner, it makes me so sad to see that bun sitting in a wire cage. Mine is a free roaming boy who is incredibly spoiled and litter box trained. He gets daily cuddles and treats of blueberries and fresh greens along with his hay. Rabbits deserve so much more than a wire cage and nothing to look forward to in their life. They are incredibly sweet animals.

This was a rabbit being shown at the fair. I'm sure he doesn't spend his whole life in a cage like that.
