Zach is like our 5th child. He is over at our house a lot, except he doesn't sleep here. Oh, wait...I guess he sometimes does. Anyway, a few months ago he commented on a couple of things he'd like for his birthday: a painting of a chameleon, and a towel with a chameleon. (Remember he has a pet one.) So we complied. Megan painted him a chameleon, and April sewed one onto a towel. He was VERY happy with his birthday presents.

Yuma County Fair 2012
It's fair time again! This year we had a family goal to each enter something. Erin, Ian, and Megan accomplished that goal! (Kevin didn't get his kit fox photo matted in time to submit it, and April had some sort of distraction the morning she was supposed to bake a batch of bread. Dallin was exempt due to his age.) Here are the entries from our family:
Erin drew a picture of a tiger.
Ian made a survival bracelet from paracord.
And he also carved an Elder Wand
(based on Dumbledore's wand in the Harry Potter series).
Megan entered one of her painted animal rocks.
Megan also entered an acrylic painting of an Eagle Owl in Student Art of the Fine Arts Division. She had the option of offering it for sale in this division. She won Best of Show ribbon and also sold it! (Photos were not allowed in the Fine Arts building, so we don't have any with her ribbons.)
We are excited that our children had so much fun creating their entries and displaying them!
Zach also entered his pig, Ginger.
He got a blue ribbon for showmanship and sold her.
We spent Tuesday afternoon at the Fair.
Erin liked all the animals.
Dallin liked the play area.
Should we make a drum set like this for our home?
There was a traveling animal display from Ca., and they put on a show every few hours.
Erin was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the assistants to help hold an albino python!
