Last year was our first taste of the stock show. I remember being blown away by all the time and energy "these people" put into pigs, goats, steers, rabbits... Who knew there was so much to know about a "swine". This year we stepped into the stock show world a little farther and Abigail and Nathan participated in a couple of the pee wee shows.
Pigs EVERYWHERE!!
All Pee Wee participants win blue ribbons and a free "cyclone" from MyTBurger. That's Georgia by the fence with her pig...poor girl, got stuck with Mr. Stubborn himself. She worked it out and finished strong.
Our "animal lover" Abigail went with her daddy last fall to pick out her very own Florida White rabbit. Her name is Cuddles and the name fits her well. Cuddles has let her carry her like a baby anywhere and everywhere she pleases. Today they went to the stock show together and brought home a blue ribbon.
I have read and listened to lots of thoughts and stories on parenting, but no one told me my heart was going to swell up that big watching them do things like they did today. Oh me, I love being their mama.
What will next year bring???....stay tuned! ::winkwink::
