Rio Blanco County Fair 2014

Who knew one could cry so much over a pig? We had such an awesome week at the Rio Blanco County Fair. We learned that fair was a lot more than just selling Ms. Piggy. Hudson had a blast entering contests and took 2nd in the Rock Rolling Contest, 3rd in the Rock Painting Contest (he painted the American Flag on a rock) and 4th in the Mutton Busting Contest. Jax was super nervous to take part in the Steer Riding Contest and took 6th. Ry and I about died watching Huds ride a sheep and Jax ride a steer. Easton had so much fun meeting new friends and playing all day long for 4 days straight with no agenda. Brynn entered in the Rabbit Chase Contest and caught and came home with "Snowflake". He/She is a cute little thing and helping lots of us (Jax & I) get over Ms. Piggy. There were booths and sorts all through the week. Huds managed to find a Ring Making Booth that sold rings and cowboy hats. He didn't leave the booth until the non-english speaking man was so sick of him that he finally sold Huds a cowboy hat for $22 instead of $50. Ry and I laughed hard cause persistence paid off for Huds. It was extremely hard to bid farewell to Ms. Piggy. She was "some pig" and Jax showed her so well and sold her for $1500. He did a great job and we were very proud of him. Jax and Huds are already talking about fair next year..... Help me!
