4H Fair & Hog Wrestling

B has been looking forward to the annual 4H fair veryyy much this year! Not only were his projects (that he worked very hard on!) going to be on display (plus the normal fair food and rides), but this year he was FINALLY old enough to Hog Wrestle! He has been pumped and counting down the days until it was time! He and three good friends (Gabe Jones, Sam Nelson, and Nolan Nelson) named themselves Hog Warriors. They were definitely the youngest team participating! They were so cute! I used to do this when I was in school and I just love those things I can share memories with him!

Sam, B, and Nolan with their cute shirts we had made!

Corbin loved the pigs and watching them!

The DeCoursey's came to cheer him on- what great friends we have!

Corbin, me, Vanessa, and Zane

((it was soooo hot we literally felt like our skin was melting off!))

Getting that pig!

Afterward- all muddy!

Nolan, Sam, Gabe, and B

They didn't win, but they sure had a good try! Not to mention the pig was about as big as them!

After we got B all cleaned up (which was a job!) we went up to the 4H building to check out his exhibits. He is just in Future 4H (until 3rd grade) and they all get blue first place ribbons on their projects.

His sewing project. :)

What a silly face- he knows it freaks me out so he loves to make it!

That's his space ship in the back ground for his Space project.

He worked really hard on this project with only a tiny amount of help from his Daddy- I thought he did amazing :) It's hard to see all the details in the picture, but he did a really good job!
He's always been so interested in space and science. We also got a book to talk about how/why/what space ships do (or I guess used to do now).

We walked out to go get our food and ran into miss Mabry and her mom and dad :)

They haven't seen as much of each other this summer as what they are used to (but will get to spend three days together next week so they are excited about that!). They were sooo excited and picking each other up and jumping up and down :)

I love this picture b/c their real personalities are showing!


We ate and then B rode a few rides.

Corbin was sooo good all evening despite the heat and being past his bedtime (Hog Wrestling started when he normally goes to bed and he'd had a short nap so I was a little worried!

After riding we got some ice cream and headed home for COLD showers!!!
