County Fair.....

We love fair time! The older the kids get the more involved they want to be so we spent most of the week there. The derby was extra entertaining this year with it including an emergency evacuation because of micro-burst wind, two cars getting tipped over, a powder-puff driver needing prolonged medical treatment in the arena, a maniac driver getting pissed off(flipping another driver off for hitting him, i thought this was a derby???, and then he peeled off almost hitting a derby worker on foot), plus the usually excitement!
This is one of the car that got tipped over, I also think the man that is on top actually is the one that threw a temper tantrum because he got hit! At least they didn't tip you over like the guy under you! idiots!


Farrer Girls


Casey, Don Crowther, and the scout entered in the Dutch Oven cook-off this year. We have been to the sampling before, but never competed so it was all new. They did Thanksgiving tonight casserole & dutch oven potatoes. They ended up running out of food half way so we weren't planning on them winning anything. To our surprise they ended up winning best side dish. They were really excited especially since they only served about half the people judging.






The boys loved the RC Races! Casey & Cael came right home and added one to their santa list.










Bicycle barrell race.





Even though he doesn't look happy, he did have a good time and probably would have placed if he wouldn't have broke the pattern.



Candy Race

For the past couple of weeks Nikki has been working with the kids on making crafts to put in the fair. They loved going and see what they placed and even score a whole $10 bucks. Thanks Nikki for being awesome!
