Fair Time!

The girls had another successful year with their 4H projects at the Johnson County Fair.

Waiting with a friend to model their sewing projects

They got a little bored and decded to play a little softball while waiting.  Maya made the outfit she was wearing.  Gabi was done modeling, so had of course changed back into her shorts and tshirt!

The showed their lambs during the Sheep Show.  Both girls improved in showmanship and in their market class over previous years!

Gabi's lamb was named, "Patch"

Maya's lamb was named, "Ace"

Jacob on a wildflower hunt.  He arranged these wildflowers to enter in the open class floriculture contest at the fair.  He was very proud of his bouquet!

He was also very excited about the sunflower behind him that he grew from seed this summer and that won a purple ribbon!  I love his smile!

The girls modeled their outfits that they made for the public style review.  They are getting better at modeling!

Gabi made this hooded sweatshirt.  It turned out super cute.

Maya made both the shirt and the leggings she is wearing here

They also both participated in the Sheep Lead!

Gabi made the wool plaid shirt she is wearing

Maya made this lavender wool knit dress.

This was the first year that they showed pigs and the did surprisingly well!  The pigs were so much fun!  

Maya's pig was named, "Coconut."  He was an awesome pig.

Gabi's pig was named, "Itchy."

The girls also decorated cakes to enter in the fair.  They had fun with this project.

The judge called Maya's cake, "A purple ribbon masterpiece!" It won Overall Grand Champion for Food & Consumer Sciences!

Gabi's cake was lily pads on a pond

And that's a wrap!  I think we're going to do less next year...
