Summer Show Season

Welcome from Central, New York. My daughters, Hilary (now 14) and Shelby (now 12) enjoy a fun summer of showing with their cousins Dylan (12 years old) and Allison (8 years old from NJ).

Aunt Irene and Aunt Frankie with Mark and Tyler came to check out the Herkimer County Fair. The girls liked having so many family members and friends watching them. I enjoyed telling everyone about the ins and outs of showing dairy cattle. All for kids did extremely well this year. They showed dairy cows, beef cows, and/or goats. Hilary took Grand Champion with her Brown Swiss cow, Prelude at the Youth Diary Show. Shelby took Grand Champion with her Ayrshire, Lia at the Youth Dairy Show, while Dylan took Grand Champion with his Ayrshire, Ruby at the Open Dairy Show. Shelby also got Grand Champion with her Nubian Goat at the Youth Goat Show and received Supreme Champion at the Open Goat Show. My niece who was showing for the first time received Pee Wee Showman and fourth place with her Jersey calf, Hannah at the Youth Dairy Show. Hilary, Dylan and Shelby also placed in the upper third of their showmanship classes which had 15-20 competitors. They had a great time at the fair.

(Key: * = picture has appeared this month)

Let's see a picture of each person at least once during the month. This would be a nice way to celebrate family, both living and passed on. I am probably missing some birthdays, so feel free to post any I missed.

BTW, if anyone objects to having their name or birthday posted here, please let me know. I will remove it.

Maybe we will do this in April, then May, then June...

Happy Halloween!!! A little late

Here are some Halloween pics of our(Greg and Nikki) and Bernie and Nancy kids. Lucas (Fireman) is 2.5 years old. Klara (Small Princess) is 9 months old. Bernie III (Stitch) is 9 and Heather(Princess Belle) is 7 years old. We all did some trick or treating around town. Lucky for me, Lucas is still young and we as parents have to control his candy intake. Therefore I get the leftovers, can't let them go to waste. Poor Me!
Can't wait till next Halloween.
Greg
