Tuesday, July 27, 2010: Consumer Choices & spending time with friends
Consumer Choices for Dash.  Registration was at 9am; Eric met Dash at the State Fair Building for registration.  Awards were later that day and due to schedules, I stayed in the barn with the younger kids while Eric went to the awards ceremony.  This is Dash’s first year judging Consumer Choices … he didn’t place last!
Fun with Friends!

This was by far the best ride for the younger kids & the line went quick!

Thursday, July 29, 2010: Pack up, pick up rabbits, goodbyes & travel home.  ND Junior Sheep Show for Dash.
Yep, you read right!  We purchased two new rabbits at the fair.  Tommy is a beautiful broken pattern mini-lop who was born just this year.  He’s still got a bit of growing to do.  Princess Lea is a broken pattern rex rabbit who is about a year old.  Both are beautiful rabbits and will be paired with rabbits we already own.  The kids are excited to ‘get babies’.  Pics will come later.
Dash stayed up at the fair to care for and show his lamb.  In the ND Junior Sheep Show, he received a blue ribbon on his market whether.

………………………………………………….

Dash will be coming home on Sunday.  I’m sure he’ll be tired!  His siblings miss him, though, because they’ve made TWO welcome home signs for him.  I miss him – and his antics – too.  The lambs (all three) will be sold as of Sunday, so no more lamb chores.  Everyone is looking forward to one less chore as we head into harvest and fall activities.
