Sure sign

A sure sign that life has been busy at best is when I don't even realize I haven't updated our blog in over a month! Yowzers! It has been a good one though. Here's a quick run down.

Both Madison & Breanne participated in their first 4H Fashion Revue and construction judging. Madison loved it and Breanne was indifferent...but those ribbons sure were great. They also got to model at the public Fashion Revue at the County Fair.

July was full with 3-weeks preparation for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. They performed two shows and enjoyed themselves while making new friends.

We left the matinee performance and headed to Gooseberry Falls State Park on Lake Superior for a long weekend of camping with our church. Saturday's weather broke records for being the coolest day...not so fun. Sunday was gorgeous. Did some geocaching and hanging out in the sun.

Kisses on the trail...

On Lake Superior. 

I think she's stealing all my kisses.

Back from camping and into fair mode. We took a road trip with the girls' friends to the Pipestone County Fair to watch the Swine Show. Imagine the looks we got buying ice-cream for six little blondies at the Dairy booth. Good times!

This past Friday was Madison's turn to show her pigs that she quickly named, Rodney and Harriet (yes, from My Big Fat Greek Wedding.)

Although she got 2 reds for her hogs, the bleachers were full with her fan club: Grandpa Verlyn, Grandma Barb, Auntie Kayla, Uncle Bryce, Grandpa Leon, Grandma Linda, Holly and Grandpa Great Bert. Best part of the fair was watching Madison and even Breanne take care, pride and ownership of the pig and their chores. EXCELLENT family time!
