Gettin' Ready for Fair

It seems to be getting increasingly harder to keep up with my blog as summer winds down... things must be speeding up!

Yesterday was kinda fun. I got up and did chores and noticed that Ace wasn't quite eating normally, so I opted to watch him pretty close for a day or two. Otherwise, things looked good. Almost right afterward we hopped in the pickup and headed to Rushville, where Brandi and Judd live.

I tried to teach Hayden (Brandy's son) and Morgan (Brandy's younger sister) how to fit their calves. No one there had fit calves for a long time, so it was a good refresher for everyone...and kinda fun to see reactions to all of the stuff that gets put on a calf. We got them looking pretty good, but it took some time. After eating some really tasty steaks for dinner and having some cake for Merle and Chris's birthday we headed back home. by the time we got back it was already past three o'clock. It was Sunday and I was going to take a nap before chores, but instead this really random isolated nasty looking thunderstorm came over. According to the national weather service it was headed pretty much right for us. So, we got out the fire truck and storm watched for a while. It had some pretty nasty looking cloud formations, but we never got much out of it. It went just a tad bit north. So, that killed my nap and it was time for chores.

Afterward, I showered and got geared up for the second night of the BC Fair Rodeo! Yey! It was fun to watch and there seemed to be a small crowd, but it was a very involved one. The stock was good again, which really makes things a lot more enjoyable to watch! The rodeo went late enough and we came home and I headed to bed.

O, a day full of fairness again! haha
