Hailey's Fair Week

What do you do with a girl exhausted from 

canoeing and hiking,

rock climbing,

bull riding,

late night 4-H project cramming,

showing and selling her 4-H animals... (the selling part is particularly emotionally exhausting)

(above "Black Beauty" and below "Fred", she also showed her prize rabbit "Alex")

--not to mention staying out late to go to the 4-H dance (unbelievably thrilling, I tell you!), 

having to feed her animals at the fairgrounds morning and night, 

all the while enjoying a few house guests (one all the way from Mongolia)...

What do you do? 

Send her to Grandma's for a week, of course. 

(Thanks Mom!  I'm sure she's having fun!  We love and miss you very much!)

Cherrytree Post

I posted today on my family's blog, cherrytree, about Hailey's 4-H animals. Warren is really enjoying the time he spends with her while they care for them and Hailey absolutely adores these animals. She is such an animal loving girl. Someday we may be able to get our own land where we can keep the pigs and lambs but for right now we keep them nearby at a former 4-H-ers house. It's a short bike ride away.
