Driving, jumping and duck head feathers

The Ossipee Valley Fair opened yesterday (it runs through Sunday) and we went to check out the girls' 4-H exhibits, take Seen Team pictures and have some fun.

I had extra Seen Team helpers last night with the girls' visiting cousins from California.

See our Seen Team photos from the fair (if you go, be sure to share your pictures too!)

We stopped by an animals for sale exhibit where we've purchased our ducks in past and had a moment of realization about our own Victorian lady.

We thought our duck may have had a parent that was a cross-bred from this one.

The stray head feathers for our duck make a little more sense to us now.

We loved this one's fro.

We also had to look at the bunnies and L. took yet another opportunity to argue her case for getting her own (something she has done for several years now). She wants to incorporate it into her yearly 4-H projects but Fino keeps turning down the idea. He thinks we've got enough going on in our yard with the chickens and ducks.

L. is working on new negotiation tactics.

The kids tried out the bumper cars for the first time this year and I was a little frightened with L.'s driving.

After seeing this devilish look I started counting how many years I had to learn deep breathing techniques in anticipation of her getting her license (6 1/2 and counting now).

The kids also really enjoyed the bungee jump with their cousins.

They had a big thank you for their tio and tia for buying them tickets to try it!
