Last weekend we went up to Red Bluff for the Tehama County Fair. It brings back lots of memories... Francie's first time meeting livestock a year ago (at the ripe old age of 9 days) and Heff's many times selling hogs at the 4-H/FFA Auction that he raised athome in Red Bluff :) We saw goats, pigs, sheep, steers, horses, chickens, rabbits and even few alpaca. Francie LOVED it this year and even sat still (pretty still:) in our laps in the front row for almost six hours Saturday while we watched the auction. She had her first corn dog and funnel cake and got to hold her bidding paddle up to buy a lamb named "Wayne." Not a bad day :)

Francie with "Jessey" from Corning, we bought her lamb

Some of the girls were as "done up" as their pretty cows ;)

"That thing is bigger than she is Mom."

Heff ALMOST bought these bunny rabbits to SURPRISE Oma with when she gets home from SLC... I mean the new barn is done, let's start filling it with animals!

"I'll take that pig home with me if I can get in there!"

This girl got $75 per pound for her Reserve Grand Champion Chickens.. must have been the creative packaging :)

Sunday morning Francie and I went back to the Fair to walk around and see the games, rides and vendors we were too busy to see Saturday. Dad was on his way home from his friend Greg's Bachelor Party evening at Lake Almanor so we kept ourselves busy... Francie got to "babysit" this 2 week old Alpaca baby named Justice while his mom had to go park the minivan she hauled them out of!
