Have you been wondering where I've been the past week? {or maybe you haven't noticed!} I haven't been blogging due to living out of a trailer at our local Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma this past week. I'm back now and here's the fair re-cap..
This year, Bryce was old enough to show a large animal so he entered his sweet little Holstein calf, Jinx. Fair time is so much fun....caring for large animals at the fair, most people camp out in trailers so they're close to their animals for the purpose of cleaning stalls, caring for them and milking them twice a day if they enter a milking cow. It almost feels like a different world with the kids all running around, busy with their animals, to and from the trailers, like one big happy fair family that sleeps, drinks and eats fair for five days.
During the middle of the week, Paige and I were also in a good friend's wedding. Needless to say it was quite challenging going from the dusty fair to a flower girl and bridesmaid dress. I had my doubts on Friday night while cleaning Paige off before rehearsal dinner, but by wedding day, Saturday, she was in much better spirits....thankfully. My goal was to wash every spec of dried manure off of her body {and mine}, hair and makeup...all while keeping this 6 year old with attitude, happy.
It worked, for about six hours where she then began negotiating her way back to the fair. Daddy brought her back and all was well in Paige's world once again.
