We continued our tradition of heading up to the Clay County Fair.
We left after school on Friday and left again Sunday afternoon.
A short but sweet trip, as always. But, it was SO HOT!!!!
The girls got to hang out with Emily Saturday morning
before we left for the fair.
Steve left early, but the rest of us rode up together.
ready to go!
Thankful they had golf-carts to bring us from the parking
to the main front entrance!
Aubrey nervously waiting for her turn to go in the ring.
Dad first!
Aubrey's first time in was with Grandpa Craig closely following
and taking over when needed :)
Aubrey, Grandpa and Dad all waiting in the class together.
Good job, Aubrey Dawn!
When the bulls were being shown, Aubrey got a break
to hand out with cousins in the stands.
We had quite the following from Grandpa and Grandma VG,
the Wynias, Curt and Emily, Phyl and Art, & Doug, Betty, and Melanie Post!
Thanks, everyone, for your support!
Avery was the ribbon holder for a bit.
Aubrey was totally in charge of this heifer!
Thankfully Dad was in the same class right next to her!
But, she got 2nd and Dad got 3rd :)
She was pretty nervous - but did great!
Then it was bringing out of the 5 together in the group class.
We needed help from Uncle Curt to show the 5th!

using actual Pledge to grease the slide to make it go faster.
