I'm Home ...

9/30/2012

 
    As you can see I am back from the fair.  You know how I feel when I don't get a chance to blog but I have a really good excuse.  When we went to Tulsa I only took my phone thinking I could do quick up dates on it.  Well, I couldn't get my phone to do the blog so I didn't get to blog.  Anyway, I will tell you all about it... 
    Friday Mom was later getting off work then she thought so we were running a bit behind but nothing to worry about.  We actually planned for it ... LOL ... When we got to the Fair we got our passes and paperwork and got the birds all in place.  We took a little time to look around but not alot.  Then we set out to find our hotel and get checked in.  At this point we had our first mishap as we call it.  You see we took the time to find a hotel online but When we got to the hotel we felt luck that we hadn't booked it.  It was really not some place Mom and I felt comfortable staying.  I told Mom that if we stayed there we would have to lock ourselves inside and not come out after dark.  So, Mom went and found us another hotel and we ended up staying two nights there.  
    Saturday Morning we got up and got to the show to feed and water everything and then the judging started.  This is the time that Mom and I took to really go and check things out.  When they are judging you can't talk to the judge or even be in the same isle with the judge.  So we find it better to go find something else to do.  We checked out all the boothers.  We caught up with some old friends....

    So does any one remember her???  Yes, that is our old friends at www.clickit2heat.com  They helped us with our fund raiser for the poultry club last year.  They sell hand warmers and a whole lot of hot and cold packs ...

Here is another Item from a vendor that has turned into a friend.  She also made Dad his Christmas present last year.  He got a halter not to different from this one but this one is for my birthday.  (It doesn't say Ice on it because Mom says that if for some reason I no longer have my horse Ice, It would look bad to use the halter on some other horse so she got it with my last name on it.)  I love the pink and I think it looks pretty cool.

We checked out the 4-H and FFA exhibits and look what Mom found.  She had to have a picute of it... You will never guess what that is made of ... It is a pumpkin in the pumpkin decorating contest ... It is covered with cotton balls.  Mom says she is going to make one for the farm this year and put it on the porch...

I even talked Mom into getting Dad and I signs for our Birthdays.  I Promised I would make a holder for them and we are going to Hang them with black chain and mine will be hung under Dad's.  I designed them and Mom liked them so we got them ... What do you think.  I love my QT Farm part.  Dad's is Brown and mine it blue but they look great together...
Picture
    Mom even had me put in Jail at the fair ... Okay not a real jail but having Mom take pictures of me in that thing was not so cool ... LOL ... We saw every booth and every product that the state fair had to offer.  Mom even met a lady that makes soap and spins.  She doesn't really live that far from us so she might even join Mom's Fiber Circle.  There is one more picture to show you but It will have to wait for Mom to get it posted.  I think you will like it.  
    Every year we find weird things at the fair to eat and this year was no different.  There was things like deep fried cookie dough, Deep fried twinkies, deep fried kool aide and deep fried candy bars. Then there was the new additions of candied bacon and chocolate covered bacon.... LOL
    After checking out all the booths the judging was over.  I took 7 birds to the fair and in the end got 6 ribbons in the top 3 spots.  3 First place ribbons, 1 second place ribbon and 2 third place ribbons.  Not half bad if you ask me.  For the rest of the day I hung out with friends and just showed them all the booths we had already visited. 
    Sunday morning we got to the fair and my Dad and Sister met us there.  We hung out for a bit showing them the sites.  Then when it was time to come home we loaded up our birds and ended up buying 4 more call ducks.  
    We got home and Dad and I went right to the roping pen.  Tomorrow it is back to normal so I better get some sleep ....
