Farm Time 2009 Part 1

The Cousin Talent Show-
Carter told jokes. Hilarious! He loved the attention and didn't want it to end.
He kept saying, "and I've got another one!" over and over again and was making
up silly little jokes all so he could keep going. What a ham.
Hallie did a skit, in which she slipped on the new deck and we all laughed, her included.
Alex read a poem. He is such an awesome reader!
Nadya performed her gymnastics routine. She modified it a little as there are a few tricks she is not comfortable with on the grass yet. It was still awesome though!

Planting Sweet Corn
The Boys planting their own sweetcorn.
Carter had the job of adding the sugar because that's how you make sweet corn sweet,
in case you didn't know.

Feeding Suzy Q

The Parade Crew!

Georgia, Diana and Doug

Carter with Grandpa

Eating Sour Candy and watching Fireworks

Playing with April's puppies.

We went to the 4H expo and the kids decorated horses and raced them.
It was so fun to watch. Carter was hilarious. As soon as the announcer said "go," Carter took off full blast holding his horse proudly in front of him instead of between his legs. It was so funny to watch. He was so excited to win that we didn't even mention the small technicality.
It was for fun anyway.

I took this picture the night before we left just holding the camera in front of us.
