The Albany County Fair July 2007







Caleb and Hanna were in the 4-H Rabbit Show this week. They did a GREAT job! We are so proud of them! Caleb's rabbit, Rodeo, won best of breed opposite while Hanna's, Princess, won best of breed. They won the same in Fur and Class 4 (small breeds). Hanna's Princess won Best in Show Reserve (2nd Place) for the whole show. We had a friend watch Xen today - made things a lot easier. Yesterday we were able to have Nate and Lisa Burbidge at the show with us. It was Nate's first time winning Best in Show. It was great to see them! I got the low down on the bar. Things sound just as aweful as I have imagined. On the bright side - it is still 2 years away! Claire had a great time at the show because all the 4-Hers have little sisters her age so she is in heaven! The Rabbits had a costume contest. Rodeo was a cowboy and Princess was in an Asian dress. It is difficult to tell, but there is a plaque on top of Princess's cage. That was her award for Best in Show Reserve (that is the cage on the right in the bottom picture).

Visit from Family

We were thrilled to have Mom, Dad, Alissa, Robbie, and Emilie visit! We had a great time going to Centennial and Denver and just spending time with family! We endured the extreme heat of Denver and the summer hail storm of Laramie. Never a dull moment!

Centennial Beauty!


The Castle...


Claire and Emmie!

Dad, Robby, and Robbie had a LONG ride to the to of the mountain in Centennial all the way from Laramie (70 miles? - all up hill!).



Cousins!


Mom carrying the weight of one tired dad - or just horsing around?


Hard to tell but Alissa IS pregnant with another GIRL! Emilie is in for some fun!


US!


On the way down! A lot funner - I'd say - than the way UP!


Dad takes the lead.


Parker got a little more than sore muscles! Check out that sunburn!


Scenic Centennial!
