We had so much fun at the Washington County Fair. We participated in almost all of the contests. First was the Ice Cream Eating contest. Maddy was the 1st place winner. She did awesome! McKenzie was the winner of our little family, eating more than Cooper and Ashley.
Next, Cooper did the "Ice Block" contest with his cousin Maddy. They had to see who could sit on the block of ice the longest. After betting out 12 other kids, Cooper, Maddy and another boy were still going strong. An hour into the contest, the judges decided to change it up and have them put their hands on the ice. Still strong after 30 minutes, they changed to putting their ear on the ice. Finally, after 20 more minutes they decided on two 1st places, Cooper and the other boy and Maddy got 2nd. Great Job!
Paxton was so cute in the baby contest. He made the finals with 5 other kids in his age group. Aunt Erin and Grandma got him some little balls to throw to the audiance. But he either got shy or just didn't want to give up the balls, either way he wouldn't throw them. He was still the cutest though.
Ashley and McKenzie, and cousins Katelyn and Brooklyn were in the 4H Fashion and Talent Show. They put together an outfit to wear and got to model it. Then they each did a dance for their talents. Congrats to Ashley she got 3rd place for the talent show. She did her dance to Hairspray's "Good Morning Baltimore". All the girls did great and we were all so proud.
