Birthday and Fair Weekend

Last Friday, we attended a friend's birthday party in Boise, then stopped by the Western Idaho Fair to watch the Junior Angus Show. The girls were so excited; they love the fair. They had a great time playing at an indoor gym for Isabella's party, then also had a blast at the fair. We got to see lots of friends. We went to the petting zoo, ate ice cream (they used their own piggy bank money and were so proud) and watch the Aussie Kingdom show about kangaroos and wallabees. Saturday morning was the ROV Angus show. It was an early morning to get there, but the kids were troopers. We showed 14 head and had reserve grand heifer and several class winners. A bull Josh and I bred, raised and sold was also a division winner. I'll let the photos speak for themselves. The kids had a blast. Mackenzie and Emma helped Carla and Michelle with awards. Little J LOVED the cattle, pointing to them, saying moo, wanting to pet them. Oh, and he loved the dirt too! It was a great day.

MJ loved helping lead a heifer calf to tie-outs.





The girls wanted to help clean the tie-out beds. Such good workers.
