The County Fair

I love Spanish Fork. Moving to this area has had so many blessings for us. One of those blessings is 4H. It's quite a big deal out here for some reason ... and, to be honest ... I never knew anything about it until we moved here. The County Fair is hosted by Spanish Fork every year - and it's kind of fun to participate in.

We went to look at all the exhibits with Kristy, M, and her kiddos ... and THIS picture of Krystal is the only one I got. But, it sure is cute! :)


Marissa didn't make it to a lot of the 4H activities this year - but she ALMOST finished her embroidery - got a GREAT start on a darling apron (see pictures below) - made some yummy suckers (which didn't make it into the fair, because we gobbled them all up) - and won first prize for her cinnamon rolls (which I didn't get a picture of, of course).


The kids had lots of fun on this airplane contraption while the girls worked on sewing (and Marissa and Abbee made it out to play plenty of times as well :)):


I'm so grateful for the opportunities Marissa has had out here to try new things and be involved in the communtiy ... and MOSTLY ... to be with wonderful friends.
Like I said - I love Spanish Fork!!
