The Blue Ribbon

Yesterday was the last day of the TN Valley Fair, so this morning we headed back over to the fairgrounds to pick up the boys' entries and to see if they won anything.

We decided to make a morning of it and stopped at the zoo for a bit before hand. This is my favorite time to go to the zoo. It's cool and it's empty. We mostly went to play- but stopped to see the rhinos, otters and baby red pandas.


Before heading down to the kid's zoo. We brushed goats, played on the slides and in the sand before heading on our way to the fairgrounds next door.


So did they win anything?

YES!

They each also received a couple Creditable Mention ribbons- but honestly they were flinging things at me and all saying LOOK! at the same time that I am not quite sure which items got those.

I am so proud of their hard work and all they put into their entries. And they are so happy with the ribbons- and the $35, $34 and $25 checks are pretty good too
