Waiting

While we are waiting for our new windshield to come in, we are trying to find something to do.  We have played Bingo…didn’t win.  We went to the movies to see “Lucy”, it was an okay movie.
Today, the Sweetwater County Fair started with the first of many horse shows.  Since we used to have horses and did show them, we thought this would be a fun thing to do.  We really enjoyed this day.  These were kids showing these horses.  They are all part of 4H.  Those who place first, have the opportunity to go to the State Fair to compete.
Today, we watched Halter classes and then English.

Isn’t this girl just too cute!!  They start them young.  I forgot that I even had my camera, so I missed some of the other classes.

We plan on going back on Tuesday.  They will have Western riding at that time.  These kids even get into beginning rodeo.  They have barrel racing!  While talking to a family whose daughter competed today, we learned that their son will be showing pigs.  We might even go watch that. Usually, when you go to county fairs, you walk through and look at all the animals to see who won.  We are actually seeing the judging. 
We will know more tomorrow about a time line for the windshield.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that it come in and we can get it completed by the end of the week.  Fingers crossed.

  1. How fun! Now you'll spend this evening trying to figure out where to go and what to do tomorrow. We've all gotten pretty good at that. If all else fails, grab a book.

  3. Best part of the fair is the animals. But I don't think I've ever watched the judging. Only seen the winners so it's fun to see what you guys are doing. Fingers and toes crossed here for the windshield.

  4. I've never owned a horse and have only been on one a couple of times but I love watching horse shows. Glad you found something enjoyable to do while waiting.
