Catching up and the Zoo

We did recently go to State Fair for dd10's 4H (birds) project.  While, she did not place there, we did learn a lot.  We went in with the expectation that she would be answering the judge's questions about her project.  In reality, she was expected to give a presentation that would hopefully answer any question the judge might have.  But we had a good time.......draft and Gypsy Vanner horses, hand made crafts, a huge slide, ski lift view, and more!

Yesterday, we *finally* made it to the Zoo!  We've only been trying since June!  We had a great time.   We got to touch sting rays--they are so soft!!!!   Oh, instead of telling you all that we saw, I'll show you some pictures instead!
